Doula pricing depends on the type of support: birth doulas usually charge a flat package fee for labor support, while postpartum doulas typically charge by the hour for daytime or overnight care at home.

It's important to note that doula fees can vary significantly within the Salem area, with some highly experienced or specialized doulas charging higher rates. Additionally, some doulas offer package deals that may include prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and postpartum support, which can affect the overall cost.

Hey, I’m Elliot. I’m a THW‑certified doula based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve always been drawn to supporting pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, and I’m honored to walk alongside families during such a meaningful, transformative time. As a trans man, I also recognize how often queer people and their families are underrepresented and underserved in medical settings. My practice centers LGBT+ parents and is grounded in trauma‑informed, non‑judgmental care through a lens of reproductive justice—so birthing parents and their partners feel empowered to make informed decisions about their bodies and their care. I bring patience, calm, and genuine curiosity to every birth space. I’m a steady listener, an advocate when needed, and a gentle presence when quiet support is best. When I’m off‑call, you’ll find me making art, writing, cuddling my cats, or happily bumbling through a new videogame. If you’re seeking affirming support for your pregnancy and birth, I’d love to connect. I completed my initial training through Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and am fully THW certified through Mother Tree Birth. I've taken a cultural competency course -- including trauma informed care, interprofessional collaboration, and HIPAA training –, also through Mother Tree Birth; and I've also completed an Oral Health course and an adult/child CPR training course. I’m happy to provide documentation for all of the above, feel free to ask!

Hi my name is Sarah Looking for Postpartum Doula clients to fill my schedule. I'm a postpartum doula, which means I support you through pregnancy and postpartum — but more than that, I’m the person who walks in and helps everything feel a little less overwhelming. Because this season? It’s a lot. There’s so much information, so many opinions, and somehow you’re expected to just know what to do. You don’t have to do that alone. I’m based in Portland and support families all across the Portland Metro area, and my goal is simple: to help you feel informed, grounded, and actually supported — not judged, not rushed, and not left guessing. Here’s how I support you: Talking through your options so you can make decisions that feel right for you Helping you prepare for birth — whether that’s medicated, unmedicated, planned, or unexpected Helping you understand your baby and what’s actually normal Giving you space to rest while I take care of baby overnight Supporting feeding in a way that feels good to you (breast, bottle, combo — no pressure) Light help around the house so you’re not carrying everything. Being someone you can ask anything… without feeling judged. I am infant CPR certified as well as being a certified postpartum doula looking for full time work. My schedule is completely open right now but it will fill up fast. If you're pregnant and are interested in overnight postpartum care please call, email or text me. My phone number is (503)313-1034 Email: storksnestdoulaservices@gmail.com Website is Storksnesrdoulaservices.net My nightly rates are $30-50/hr dependent on your needs and packages chosen. I offer 8-10hr night shifts 4-5 nights a week. I accept cash app, venmo and Facebook pay for the time being I have references upon request as well.

Hello! Supporting families through the birth year as a birth and postpartum doula brings me immense joy. As a dear friend of mine said, "Helping people move through huge life transitions is where it's at." I bring non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care to you and your family, however "family" looks for you. My training includes DONA-approved workshops for birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, newborn care, pregnancy loss, abortion support, and prenatal/postpartum yoga. When not involved in birth work, I love to bake, play with my puppy, and read mysteries.

Recent review

We are so grateful for Zoe’s loving support this past year as our doula. Zoe worked with us as a postpartum doula after our son Emmett was born. Her support was intuitive and natural, easily fitting in to our lives and jumping in to support in all the right ways. She was incredibly helpful both in practical ways helping us get back on track with our daily routine, but also was a wealth of information about breastfeeding, newborn phases and milestones, and labor recovery. Zoe shared helpful resources related to where we were at in the postpartum and newborn journey. She also made space to help us process and talk about things like our birth story, postpartum anxiety, and really anything else on our minds… which was a lot. We appreciate the calm and loving connection and support for our whole family.
