Birth is a beautiful time for support and connection, and the loving care you receive from your support team is a transformative way to begin the new phase of life that your baby is starting! I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula serving the Corvallis area. I also have my Traditional Healthcare Worker certification and am a member of the Community Doula Program and will be able to bill Medicaid by the end of March. I am nonbinary and welcome trans and gender non-conforming clients and families. I have two young children and have lived experience with prematurity, NICU stays, and pregnancy loss. I have experienced several different birthing situations. Additionally I have personal experience and experience working as a doula for several infants who struggle to feed and gain weight. ​ I grew up in Corvallis and feel deeply connected to the community here. I worked in early childhood education for several years after graduating from UO while also moving around the country, enjoying spending time in both San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX. Both of those cities also allowed me to pursue modern dance which I’ve enjoyed since I was a child! Dancing, yoga, and movement are a huge part of who I am and there’s a deep connect for me between movement and birth work. I find joy, peace, and belonging in movement, building community and sharing the things I love with my children.

I felt so cared for and supported by Heather during my postpartum as a first time mom. Their guidance helped me practically and, more importantly, emotionally, as I navigated becoming a mother. Heather was there for me during my hardest and longest days and nights. Heather is a pillar of strength and support, and full of endless wisdom. They are also well connected in our community, which helped me and my little one connect with professional support like lactation consultants, and also with mom support groups and other families, bringing us into the wonderful world of parenthood surrounded in community.

Hello, friend! My name is Josie and I have been a Birth Doula since 2019. My goal as your Doula is to help you have the most satisfying birth experience possible by supporting you physically, emotionally, and educationally. As your Doula I will help you advocate for yourself so that you feel both seen and heard by the medical staff, I will help support you physically as you progress in labor, and I will be there as an encouragement and champion for you and your partner throughout your journey. I love pampering women in labor, but I'm also there to be a Doula to the partner/spouse because we all know it's a team effort. My goal is never to replace your labor support, but rather add to, direct, and encourage them. I love to craft, make jokes, cuddle my toddler when he lets me, read books, and wander throughout Oregon’s woods and coastlines. I’m an introvert and an enneagram 9, but I can be loud and fun, so don’t go confusing shy for quiet. 😉 I can’t wait to meet you!

I used Magnolia Moon Doula Services as a virtual doula for my child’s birth at the end of 2023. The support Josie provided was integral to my positive birth experience. The prenatal visit was so helpful for thinking through my birth plan. Josie also gave really useful information that I’d not received elsewhere. Being able to text and call Josie during labor with questions to help my labor progress gave me peace of mind, and she also reminded me of tools and practices I could ask the hospital for. It was a truly positive experience that cemented the importance of doulas for me. It was so helpful to have Magnolia Moon Doula Services walk with me through the preparation and birth experience, and I cannot recommend Josie more highly.

Hi, I’m Bonnie, a THW Doula serving families throughout the Willamette Valley. I’m passionate about breastfeeding support, informed decision making, and evidence based care. My husband and I are enjoying the adventure of raising our four kiddos. Having experienced both hospital and home births I truly appreciate the beauty, strength and individuality of every birth journey. Currently serving Salem to Eugene, Corvallis and surrounding areas.

Recent review

Bonnie-you’re what I picture as a TRUE midwife. Not lingering and bothering and following. Don’t get me wrong though every person’s presence disrupts the birth in some way- and I was caught off guard had I not met you. But you making my kids waffles and just occupying my kids at times is what I picture as being a true midwife and the help up to go to the bathroom. Even though I had never met you I felt safer with you than the medwives who I’ve met many times and attended my birth. Although my birth was not an actual physiological home birth, and my needs were disrespected by everyone else and was completely ruined by the medwives and the worst experience of my life, You’re exactly what I’d want in an actual midwife for a home birth and what I wanted my experience to be and I think if you ever started offering non medicalized attendance some women would appreciate that. I won’t be having any type of birth attendants next time or ever again since it’d be way to triggering for me but I did appreciate you and my daughter still talks about that nice DR lady with the axolotl 😌(I know it’s hard to find traditional midwives and birth keepers in this area. Unfortunately mine had moved to far away and all the other ones I found were in the occult but now I’m thinking that’s common for licensed ones as well) and I’d totally recommend you for those who want non medical support if you switch from ‘doula’ to wanting to be traditional and just a true ‘with woman’ presence near by.

Hello Loves, my name is Samone Marie. I am a certified (THW) Full Circle Birth and Postpartum Doula, Community Health Worker, and Childbirth Educator serving families throughout Oregon and Washington. As a mother of four and grandmother, I bring both professional and lived experience into my work, including personal journeys with fertility, twins, natural and medicated births, and the many beautiful and unique paths birth can take. I believe birth is a sacred transition for the entire family, and I am passionate about helping parents feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported throughout their journey. My approach blends evidence-based education with heart-centered, culturally aware, and trauma-informed care. Along with emotional support, comfort measures, advocacy, and postpartum guidance, I also honor your traditional and cultural practices that support the whole family, including placenta encapsulation, belly binding and wrapping, Mother Blessing ceremonies, Closing of the Bones ceremonies, and cam infuse sound and energy practices. I strive to create a space where families feel seen, heard, respected, and cared for during one of life’s most meaningful transitions.

I met Samone late in my pregnancy, and she made me feel supported right away. She sent resources, checked in frequently, and answered my questions and helped me understand my options, so I felt empowered. During my long labor, she stayed by my side, even on her birthday! With her there, I felt safe, calm, and cared for. Her dedication and presence made all the difference in my birth experience. I’m so thankful for her support!??

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!
