Christ-Centered, Christian Doula Hi, I'm Eryn, a Mom to my 10 yr. old and a Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula. I offer physical, emotional/spiritual and informational/educational support for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe that this time period is a sacred rite of passage in your life worthy of the upmost respect, care, and support. I have been present for home births, hospital births, birthing center births, and provided support to postpartum families. I am currently offering Virtual Doula Support.

I'm a former licensed teacher that followed my passion to change my 17 year side job of childbirth education and birth doula work into a full time career. It started with earning my credentials as a childbirth educator from the Seattle Midwifery School and teaching in Portland area hospitals but morphed into doing birth doula work as people I met invited me to be part of their births. I like to say I fell into birth doula work unintentionally, but it ignited a passion to do it all that I could (while raising young children, teaching kindergarten part time, and teaching childbirth prep. WHEW! Those were busy years!) Fast forward to 2022, when I became an empty nester (letting both my scientist and my opera singing daughters fly!) and made the decision to leave the classroom and pursue birth doula work and childbirth education. I hold a Masters Degree in curriculum and instruction, so helping birthing people and their support team learn about birth is a natural and easy process for me. Once I decided to do birth work full time, I pursed further education as a birth doula (which was a review of a TINY part that I learned through childbirth educator training, LOL!) and became DONA certified as a birth doula. Through the years I have been lucky to experience a wide variety of births: medicated, unmedicated, planned and unplanned cesarean, VBAC, and so much more. I have years of experience helping those that birth, with or without neurodivergence and other challenges, find their way to empowerment and joy, no matter how their birth journey unfolds. I pull from a wide range of tools, tricks, and methods to provide what YOU would like your birth to look, sound, and feel like. From Hypnobirthing, breathing, crafting the ideal birthing environment to Spinning babies, position work, and comfort measures (comforting touch, using water & heat, leveraging pleasure for more oxytocin), I actively pursue discovering YOUR magic combination for reduced discomfort, labor length, and stress. I keep the birth space calm, safe, easy-going, compassionate, and positive, so that you can enter parenthood empowered and joyful. I provide individualized education, encouragement, and planning prior to labor, and support during the birth process to take the pressure and stress off of you and your labor support though an experience that can have a bazillion variables and may be alien to you. I keep it simple and as stress free as I possibly can so that you can be fully present and enjoy your prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience.

Ready for a confident and calm birth/postpartum journey? As a certified doula, I'm here to support you and your family every step of the way. I offer comprehensive information and guidance tailored to your unique experience, for your first baby and beyond. With a yoga teacher background I will guide you to connect with your body's innate wisdom. As a professional chef, I will support your body's healing with nourishing postpartum meals. When I am off-duty, you'll find me gardening or cuddling my kittens in Portland, OR.

The fullness of my life has been centered around children and maternal care and learning about herbs and how they support a natural lifestyle. I have been a childcare provider, prenatal to youth (special needs included for years past 18 years of age), for over 30 years. My decision to become a doula, and eventually to become a midwife, has been in the works throughout my life. I have been influenced by other doulas and midwives from the East and West Coast, with a predominance of this influence happening when I was in North Carolina. My mission is to ensure that mothers, and mothers-to-be have the resources, knowledge, and care needed to ensure the healthy births of their children, as well as knowledge of how to care for their newborns and older children. I have experience as a nutritional specialist (chef), well-baby care, well-Mama care, and family care and pre-and post-birth dynamics.

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.

I’m Sherilee Peters, the owner and founder of Baby Nest Birth Services. For over 20 years, I have been supporting parents in having empowering birth and postpartum experiences. Growing up on a recreational farm in Canada, I watched animals give birth from a young age, which gave me my first realization of how beautiful the birth process could be. After having my own baby, I became passionate about educating and supporting parents, so they could have less fear. I am a mother of two (now grown and empty nesting), a Birth & Postpartum Doula, a Bradley Method Birth instructor, and a certified placenta specialist serving the Vancouver, WA, and Portland, OR areas.

My care is both grounded and flexible—rooted in knowledge, guided by intuition, and always centered on you.
