About Sharyl

Hi! I live in Springfield Oregon and I’m a mom of 4 and grandma of 2. I completed my doula and postpartum training in April 2024 through SMC Doulas in Portland and it was a wonderful experience! I was a 20 year old single mom when I had my oldest daughter and I birthed alone, just myself, the nurse and my dr and it was an experience that I never wanted to repeat or have anyone I knew have. I will support you, advocate with you for your needs and desires and be there as little or as much as you need. I will also be there for you postpartum holding your baby so you can shower, washing laundry, doing dishes, making meals, you tell me what you need and I can accommodate you. I can meet with you virtually over zoom or in person. My goal is to keep my doula business small and basically be on call when you need me taking only a couple clients at a time. If you wake up at 3am and need to talk I can accommodate that. Being pregnant, giving birth, having a newborn and being a brand new parent all can be anxiety producing and at the same the happiest times of your life! I understand that completely!!

Birth & Postpartum Doula services

I offer prenatal support, birth support and postpartum support. I also offer photography services and nanny services. I’m happy to help you out in any way that you need from cooking meals, doing dishes, holding the baby so can shower, entertaining siblings, answering calls and texts when you need someone to listen and help you navigate what you should do, and much more. I have a lot of experience with nursing, baby wearing, attachment parenting, solo parenting, siblings close in age and some experience with postpartum depression and anxiety.
