Georgia Bonds Abele

Accepts insurance

Hi there! My name is Georgia I am a certified labor, postpartum, and abortion doula in the Portland area. I have a degree in Psychology and over 10 years of experience serving young children and families in a variety of settings. As your doula, I am committed to making you feel prepared, held, and empowered every step of the way. I recognize that this work is deeply personal and I strive to get to know my clients and care for them as I would a close friend. As a queer person living with chronic illness, I am particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent folks, and those living with disabilities. My work celebrates all bodies, identities, and family structures and I strive to make my practice as inclusive and accessible as possible.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely researching doulas for prenatal, labor, and postpartum support. You should absolutely consider Georgia Bonds-Abele. I can’t recommend her highly enough. As first-time parents, my husband and I knew we wanted support navigating the unknowns of pregnancy, labor, and birth. We met Georgia during my second trimester, and selected to work with her. What stood out most was her depth of knowledge and practical guidance provided in preparing for an unmedicated birth. I had hoped for an unmedicated hospital birth, and with her support I was able to achieve it! Even when we faced an unexpected gestational diabetes diagnosis and the decision to schedule an induction, Georgia helped us feel informed, validated and confident in our decisions. During our prenatal visits (plus many texts, calls, and shared Notes app lists), she was generous with her time and incredibly thorough. She also helped my husband feel prepared and confident in his role as a birth partner, helping him prepare to support me physically and emotionally during labor. From weeks 37–40 (and beyond if needed), Georgia was on call and fully available. When the time came, she joined us at the hospital for my induction and was a constant source of support through labor: with hands-on comfort techniques and tools, guidance, and strong advocacy. She has a calm and gentle presence, but she is also a powerful advocate and was truly impressive when communicating with both healthcare providers and family members during critical moments. From shaping my birth preferences to postpartum support (including holding my baby so I could take care of a few things around the house), Georgia was exceptional through every stage. I would absolutely work with her again for future births and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and empowering doula.

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!

Working with Camille was such a blessing. She sat down with me to learn about my desires for birth but also had questions to get to know me better so she could truly support me in the ways I needed. She also had great resources for both me and my birth partner which were so helpful since this was my first pregnancy. She checked in towards the end of my pregnancy but never in an annoying way. You could tell she was genuinely wanting to make sure I was doing okay and making decisions I was comfortable with. During labor she walked right into the room and immediately started comforting me. She set out my affirmation cards, massaged my hands after I had to get my iv redone, she held essential oils up to my nose as I experienced nausea and she helped my nurses move me into different positions in bed. Once I was in active labor and was pushing I remember hearing her words of encouragement but it was subtle so that I could also feel the presence and support of my mom who was in the room as well. Camille did a wonderful job of being there for me while also supporting the team of people around me. I felt very taken care of and I am forever grateful for that presence!

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.
