I am a trauma-informed and gender affirming birth worker in Marion County, Oregon, providing a range of parenting support packages. I am a firm believer in parenting intuition and that each of us already holds many of the answers that we need. But during pregnancy and childbirth, there are so many new ideas and choices to consider that it can feel incredibly overwhelming. I excel in helping you explore all of your options, focusing in on what really matters to you, and preparing you to feel confident in your parenting role.

I am a mother to 7 and grandmother to 3 toddlers. My children range from 16-31 years old. Yes they are all mine and I gave birth to every one, plus 4 in Heaven. When I gave birth to my children I was able to do 6 of them unmedicated and all were delivered vaginally with no significant damage to my lady parts. All a testament to good education, faith, and great, knowledgeable caregivers. I would love to work with clients who are seeking this kind of birth. However, my passion and calling is to help parents to have the birth they are desiring, and to support them in their journey no matter the method; whether vaginal, unmedicated, epidural, C-section(planned or emergency), hospital, birth center, or at home. I would be privileged to support you and your family into the exciting adventure of parenting. I am a birth and postpartum doula, recently trained. I am working toward my THW and getting my Doula business up and running. I offer lactation support and referral when needed. I offer calm, flexible, adaptive, confident support during your birth and post partum period. I have been told often by health professionals what a great job I do advocating for others. I am certified in Hypnobirthing Support and will be attending Spinning Babies Foundation class at the end of April. Reach out for an interview and let's see if I'm a good fit for your parenting journey.

Hello, my name is Alyx Cucci and I am a certified birthworker living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I have personally experienced a hospital birth, a birth center birth as well as a home birth and although they were all exceptionally different I loved each of them equally. As a birthworker I am a firm believer in the magic that is created by a birthing person and their partner during the entirety of the birth process. I am always grateful to be chosen as a witness to these extraordinary experiences and my ultimate hope is that I am more of a witness than anything else. I work hard to educate and empower a couple before the arrival of their baby so when the time comes, they are able to confidently and comfortably take control of their birth with me their merely as an extra set of hands when needed or sometimes to simply hold space. I also believe that there is a birthworker for everyone. We are not one size fits all and neither are you. And….THATS OKAY. I love chatting with potential clients and seeing if we are a match. Most often we are, and sometimes we are not. Childbirth can make women feel vulnerable and unsure. They need somebody they can completely trust and open up to. Somebody they can feel vulnerable and unsure with. And let’s be honest, sometimes we just done jive with others. I want potential clients to understand that I am just one type of doula. I am open and honest and blunt. I believe in this magic down in the deepest parts of my soul. I am knowledgeable and empowering; I care genuinely for each of my clients but I am not the fit for every woman. Thankfully, if I am not, there is another who is. And I want you to have that birthworker attend your birth and stand witness to your miracle. Lets chat, no hard feelings. 😊

My name is Frances and I am the Founder & CEO of Blue Poppy Doulas and a certified birth, postpartum, miscarriage & bereavement doula. I serve families in Corvallis, Albany, and surrounding areas of the Willamette Valley, with virtual support available across the United States and internationally, including Japan. I specialize in pregnancy after loss, high risk pregnancy, pre-conception care, pumping education, miscarriage and bereavement support. I am trained and certified by Doula Unbound, Dr. Bill Chun's OBGYN-led doula training that provides me with a higher level of evidence-based clinical knowledge to support clients through their pre-conception, prenatal, labor, and postpartum journey. I support families through every stage of the reproductive journey—pregnancy, birth, postpartum, fertility, and pregnancy loss—with calm, steady, and trauma-informed care. My role is to hold space for you in moments that may feel uncertain, overwhelming, or deeply tender, while helping you feel informed, supported, and never alone in your experience.

Hello, I’m Stormy McKinney, a birth doula serving families in Oregon. Supporting birthing people is more than a career for me—it’s a calling shaped by my own experiences, my heart for caregiving, and my deep belief that no one should ever feel alone during birth. My journey into birth work began after having two difficult birth experiences of my own. I didn’t have the support I needed, and I carried that feeling of being unheard and overwhelmed for a long time. Later, I spent years caring for my grandmother, and although I loved being there for her, after she passed I knew I wanted to help people in a different way. When I discovered what doulas do, something clicked. I realized I wanted to be the person I never had—someone who advocates, comforts, and helps birthing people relax into their own strength. I completed my Birth Doula and Postpartum care Training with Doula Love LLC in Portland, OR continued my education with additional training in trauma-informed care, oral health, cultural competency, CPR for adults/children/infants (for nurses), and basic lactation support. My approach is grounded in compassion, kindness, and a genuine desire to help families feel safe, informed, and supported. I’m a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly. I have ADHD, so every now and then I get a burst of energy—usually in a fun, optimistic way. I’m also disabled and live with POTS, but it doesn’t stop me from showing up fully for the families I support. I’m a young doula at 25, a mom of two, an animal lover, I love waterfalls, and a bit of a video-game nerd, Anima is a big part of my time. All of these pieces of me shape the warmth and understanding I bring into my work. I believe birth should feel supported, respected, and never lonely. I would be honored to walk beside you as you welcome your baby into the world.

For the past three years, I have had the honor of serving as a birth doula, supporting families as they prepare for one of the most transformative moments of their lives. My mission is to help families explore and voice their preferences, feel empowered in their decisions, and prepare both emotionally and physically for birth. I provide active, continuous support during labor, offering reassurance, comfort measures, and steady guidance throughout the entire process. I am deeply committed to advocacy, ensuring my clients feel heard, respected, and informed every step of the way. I help create a safe and nurturing space where each family can confidently welcome their beautiful bundle of joy. My work extends into the postpartum period, where I continue to provide guidance, encouragement, and compassionate care as families adjust to their new chapter.

Hi there! Welcome! I'm Zoë, and I'm so happy you're here! I am currently on my journey to becoming a birth, postpartum, and abortion doula in the Portland, OR area. Advocacy, empowerment, and loving kindness are at the heart of what has drawn me to practice. I believe every birthing person, of all backgrounds, deserves to feel confident, safe, and held as they bring new life into the world, are becoming parents, or are making the decision not to become a parent. I am passionate about being an ally to and advocate for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks in order to create the safest and loving space for all. Please feel free to check out my Instagram @doulazo to read more about me and my own experience with pregnancy and unmedicated home birth. I am looking forward to connecting!

Welcoming a newborn(s) or infant(s) into the family is an incredibly special time, but it can also be exhausting for parents. I’d love to support a new family by offering compassionate, dependable nighttime care. With over ten years of experience in pediatrics, I’ve cared for babies and children in hospital settings, but after having three of my own, I took a step back to focus on my family.

Welcome! I'm Doula Mindy and I am passionate about the health of young children and families, in all their unique beauty. For the last 25 years I have been an Early Intervention Specialist and Early Childhood Special Education teacher. As a postpartum doula, I love working with families in their home, using the equipment and materials they have available and meeting each person where they are emotionally, mentally and experientially. As a parent coach, working with families through a virtual platform has been a game changer. We can dive deep into developmental issues and parents leave each session with new tools in their toolbox. While I love working with all families, I have a special place in my heart for parents with: *traumatic birth stories *a child in or transitioning from NICU *multiples *infants with identified disabilities *neurodiverse parents *neurodiverse children *diverse family structures In my free time, I enjoy exploring the PNW with my partner in our camper van, reading in my hammock, trying to grow things in my garden, spending time with my adult daughter, and snuggling with my two doxies.
