Hi, I’m Kim! I’m so glad you’re here! I’m the owner of Birthing Days Doula Services, a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and infant sleep consultant serving families throughout the Portland metro area. With over eight years of experience and more than 250 births attended, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through just about every kind of birth experience imaginable—from unmedicated births and epidurals to inductions, VBACs, cesareans, birth centers, and home births. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no two births are alike, and your support shouldn't be either. **My philosophy is simple: Your birth, your choices, your experience. I'm here to support YOU.** I like to think of myself as your **birth best friend—with years of experience, evidence-based knowledge, a calming presence, and absolutely no judgment.** Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, preparing for a cesarean, or simply figuring out what feels right for you, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way. I'll be there to offer hands-on comfort measures, help you navigate decisions, encourage and involve your partner, and provide a steady, reassuring presence when things feel overwhelming. I'll cheer you on, laugh with you, advocate for your wishes, and remind you just how capable you are—even when things don't go exactly as planned. I believe birth support should feel personal, not clinical. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your fears, celebrating the exciting moments, and knowing you have someone in your corner who genuinely cares about you and your experience. And my support doesn't have to end when your baby arrives! With experience in postpartum recovery, newborn care, feeding, and infant sleep, I'm here to help you navigate those first weeks and months of parenthood, too. When I'm not supporting families, you'll find me spending time with my husband of 25 years and our three kids, traveling, camping, reading, or cheering on the Oregon Ducks! **Finding the right doula is about more than experience and certifications. It's about finding someone you connect with, feel comfortable around, and trust to be part of one of the most meaningful moments of your life.** I'd love to hear your story, learn about your hopes for birth, and talk about what matters most to you. Whether you have a detailed birth plan or aren't quite sure where to begin, I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and see if we're the right fit. **Let's connect! I can't wait to meet you!** — Kim Birthing Days Doula Services

Kim was so helpful- a calming and informative presence. This was so needed, especially when everything went haywire- she adapted to our needs as I went into labor a month early, and had to unexpectedly change hospitals. She was quite literally my only predictable factor in this experience. Her advocacy and communication skills were always on point, and she was so easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

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.

This pregnancy was extremely taxing on me, and I’m beyond fortunate that Samone was the doula I chose to support me through it all. She never failed to show up for me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. From the countless resources she provided, to the random texts just checking in to make sure I was in a good headspace, to the house visits where she equipped me with tools to help prepare my mind and body for what they were about to endure—she was there every step of the way. I can honestly say that, aside from birthing a happy and healthy baby boy, Samone was the single most positive part of my pregnancy and postpartum experience. I will be forever grateful for her love, support, and presence during such a transformative time in my life. If I were planning on having more babies, I would choose her as my doula every single time. ??

I provide compassionate, evidence-based, personalized support for a confident, joyful perinatal journey.

I had the pleasure of working with Lorrie as my doula for the birth of my first child, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the start, she put my mind at ease, building my confidence through her deep knowledge of the birthing process. She helped me navigate my options to create a flexible birth plan that felt exactly right for me. Our weekly virtual prenatal yoga sessions were a lifesaver—not only for stress reduction but for mental preparation. Lorrie tailored every pose to my needs and taught me breathing techniques that became essential during labor. She even prepared my support team so they knew exactly how to show up for me. My goal was to labor at home as long as possible. Thanks to Lorrie’s calm guidance through intense contractions, I arrived at the hospital 8cm dilated! Even when things took an unexpected turn resulting in an emergency C-section and a NICU stay, Lorrie stayed by my side. She gave me the tools to advocate for myself and provided constant encouragement during a difficult time. Lorrie provides holistic, culturally appropriate care that every birthing person deserves. I’m now a healthy mama to a healthy baby boy, and I can't wait to have her support me again for my next child.

As a holistic birth and postpartum doula, I offer grounded, intuitive support, empowering and nurturing new and growing families through the transformative portal of birth. My approach to care is informed by my deep studies of physiologic birth, herbalism and a decade working in childcare, the arts, journalism and food and retail. In our work together, we will be tuning to the cues from the body and centering nourishment, emotional wellbeing and connection to our natural rhythms. Together we'll take each moment as it arrives, looking to make the most out of all the tools available to help you move through each threshold in the way that is most true to your inner knowing. Rooted in the wisdom of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, the postpartum care I offer provides deep nourishment and helps to cultivate warmth, ease and restorative rest and connection. My hope is that this support helps to nourish families and communities so that we might reclaim the ceremony of birth in all of its forms and create a new collective future of autonomy, connection and wholeness. When not with families, you can find me likely making something with my hands, either in the garden, knitting, at home in my kitchen, or crafting some herbal concoction. I treasure my time spent near water, at the river, or on the coast in Northern California or my native New England.

Emma brings a kind and warm presence to her work as a doula. Our family loved having her care for us all during our postpartum period. She kept me well stocked with herbal teas, sitz baths, and dropped by nourishing food. She was able to help wherever we needed and often without me even having to ask- like doing laundry and folding my, and my kids clothes/finding where they all go without me saying anything (I found this truly magical!). Emma was also so great with my older kiddo (3) , our new baby, and our dog. She always came to our home prepared with rituals to nourish and ground us. Thank you Emma! <3

Hello! Supporting families through the birth year as a birth and postpartum doula brings me immense joy. As a dear friend of mine said, "Helping people move through huge life transitions is where it's at." I bring non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care to you and your family, however "family" looks for you. My training includes DONA-approved workshops for birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, newborn care, pregnancy loss, abortion support, and prenatal/postpartum yoga. When not involved in birth work, I love to bake, play with my puppy, and read mysteries.

We are so grateful for Zoe’s loving support this past year as our doula. Zoe worked with us as a postpartum doula after our son Emmett was born. Her support was intuitive and natural, easily fitting in to our lives and jumping in to support in all the right ways. She was incredibly helpful both in practical ways helping us get back on track with our daily routine, but also was a wealth of information about breastfeeding, newborn phases and milestones, and labor recovery. Zoe shared helpful resources related to where we were at in the postpartum and newborn journey. She also made space to help us process and talk about things like our birth story, postpartum anxiety, and really anything else on our minds… which was a lot. We appreciate the calm and loving connection and support for our whole family.
