I'm Lauren, a birth doula and photographer based in Milwaukie, Oregon, just outside of Portland. I grew up in Delaware, but have lived on the West Coast since 2017. I am a mom to one child, two dogs, and a cat. I love reading, getting outside, and exploring new cities. I love trying out new hobbies: currently, I'm learning how to crochet! I trained through Doula Love Portland's DONA International and OHA Approved program. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and evidence-based. I honor all paths to parenthood and believe that every person deserves compassionate, culturally responsive care during their most vulnerable moments. I believe birth is not just a beginning. It is a continuation of a lineage - of wisdom, of strength, of becoming. I am here to hold space for you to make your own choices while feeling supported, safe, and seen.

As a first time mom, I was searching for someone who could be an advocate for my husband and I. Someone who could guide us through the birthing process and the many decisions that came with it in a moment of high emotion. Lauren was the calming and sound voice of reason and compassion that we needed. In the prenatal period she patiently answered all my questions, and even sent me literature on things we discussed for further research. Together, we built my ideal birth plan, and she created an easy to follow worksheet that I could reference and bring with me to the hospital. When the time finally came, and the birth plan completely derailed, Lauren remained calm and was there every step of the way. During an extremely long and exhausting labor process, Lauren was there providing support through suggestions, positioning, counter pressure, etc. And with every change in the birth plan and decision that came along the way, Lauren helped us understand our options and gave me peace of mind that every decision made was founded in fact and not emotion. From an emotional standpoint, Lauren also kept reminding me that I was one step closer to meeting my baby. This also helped calm my anxious mind as things progressed. After an unexpected C-section, we finally held our baby, and though things did not go as planned, we took solace in knowing that we made the best choices for our family. I cannot thank Lauren enough for the support she provided, and can't imagine how my husband and I would have dealt with the situation without her. If you are a first time mom, or even a second or third, I highly recommend her and her doula services!

As a holistic birth and postpartum doula, I offer grounded, intuitive support, empowering and nurturing new and growing families through the transformative portal of birth. My approach to care is informed by my deep studies of physiologic birth, herbalism and a decade working in childcare, the arts, journalism and food and retail. In our work together, we will be tuning to the cues from the body and centering nourishment, emotional wellbeing and connection to our natural rhythms. Together we'll take each moment as it arrives, looking to make the most out of all the tools available to help you move through each threshold in the way that is most true to your inner knowing. Rooted in the wisdom of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, the postpartum care I offer provides deep nourishment and helps to cultivate warmth, ease and restorative rest and connection. My hope is that this support helps to nourish families and communities so that we might reclaim the ceremony of birth in all of its forms and create a new collective future of autonomy, connection and wholeness. When not with families, you can find me likely making something with my hands, either in the garden, knitting, at home in my kitchen, or crafting some herbal concoction. I treasure my time spent near water, at the river, or on the coast in Northern California or my native New England.

Emma brings a kind and warm presence to her work as a doula. Our family loved having her care for us all during our postpartum period. She kept me well stocked with herbal teas, sitz baths, and dropped by nourishing food. She was able to help wherever we needed and often without me even having to ask- like doing laundry and folding my, and my kids clothes/finding where they all go without me saying anything (I found this truly magical!). Emma was also so great with my older kiddo (3) , our new baby, and our dog. She always came to our home prepared with rituals to nourish and ground us. Thank you Emma! <3

Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology has shaped my approach, allowing me to support individuals with compassion, knowledge, and a strong foundation in evidence-based care.

Crystal is an amazing doula - she lives and breathes this work. I sought her out after I learned she had natural births with both of her babies and had experience with co-sleeping and breastfeeding. She delivered on that experience and expertise by setting me up with all the coping skills my husband and I needed to labor at home. She took time to answer my questions about the birthing process, breastfeeding and post partum, provided me with useful tools, checked on me frequently, loved and supported me during my post partum and has continued to be a resource since. I highly recommend Crystal as your doula as she will put her heart and soul in to being there for you. Crystal really walks the talk which was so important for me in choosing the right doula. Don’t let her slip away!

Hi, I’m Chantel—a birth doula, mama of two little ones, and someone who truly believes this season of life deserves to be held with care, humor, and a whole lot of heart. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me chasing my babies around, dancing in the kitchen, getting outside in nature, or dreaming up creative projects. I have a background in yoga and movement, which deeply shapes how I support birth—tuning into the body, finding rhythm, and creating a sense of calm and connection in the midst of it all. I came into this work because I’m passionate about helping families feel supported, seen, and confident as they step into parenthood. Birth is powerful and unpredictable, and I’m here to be a steady, grounding presence through it—offering hands-on support, encouragement, and guidance while honoring your unique path. My hope is that you feel safe to be fully yourself in this experience, and that you walk away feeling not just supported, but truly cared for.

Chantel's services were the perfect blend of professionalism and personable care. As new parents with an array of mixed emotions, we immediately felt a sense of trust and reliability upon our first meeting. Chantel provided effective communication, resourceful information, personal experience and evidence-based knowledge that allowed us to make informed decisions while she support our personal choices. I cannot imagine ensuring my 72-hour labor without her grounding and nurturing presence. Chantel was truly a rock throughout my pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience!
