Our two boys are 12 and 3.5 and we have a sweet baby girl that lives in heaven. We also are animal lovers with a Siamese cat and a Collie dog!

Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a birth doula based in Salem, and I’m so excited to support you and your family through this transformative journey. Before stepping into birth work, I spent 11 years as a teacher, working with students from diverse backgrounds. That experience shaped my deep belief in meeting people where they are, adapting my approach to their individual needs, and honoring their personal goals. Birth is not one-size-fits-all, and you deserve support that respects your choices, values, and instincts. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, preparing for birth, or adjusting to life with a new little one, I’m here to provide compassionate care every step of the way. I believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to birth. My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions while leaving space for what feels right for you. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth—with or without medication—I trust you to make the best choices for your body, your pregnancy, and your baby. My role is to provide guidance, reassurance, and continuous support so you can navigate this journey feeling empowered and prepared. I also understand that birth doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s an experience that impacts your partner, family, and birth team. That’s why I provide comprehensive support to your entire circle, making sure everyone feels informed, involved, and empowered. Birth isn’t just about the baby—it’s about you, your well-being, and the experience you want to create. Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of my practice. I’m passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health and emotional well-being, and I firmly believe that every family deserves the support they need—whether that’s through professional help, community resources, or simply having someone to lean on. I am committed to being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and advocating for anti-racist practices in all aspects of my work. Your family is unique, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll probably find me curled up with a romance or fantasy novel, getting lost in a new crafting project, or tending to my ever-growing collection of plants (and trying to give away new starts I’ve rooted on my windowsill). I also love experimenting with vegetarian and vegan recipes, going on long walks, and enjoying imaginative games with my husband and two kids. No matter how your birth unfolds, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and fully supported. Whether you're loving every moment of pregnancy or just trying to survive it, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to walk alongside you on this journey!

Hi! I'm Emily, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) located in Portland, OR. Like many new parents, I faced feeding challenges I never expected, the kind that can make something "natural" feel anything but easy. Through those experiences, I discovered how powerful the right support can be, and I knew I wanted to be that support for other families. Today, I help parents navigate feeding with confidence, compassion and evidence-backed guidance. My goal is to make you feel seen, supported and empowered in your feeding journey. I see patients both in-home, and in-office in Lake Oswego, OR. In my free time, I enjoy all things exercise, traveling, trying all the amazing restaurants Portland has to offer, and doing anything with my 4 year old.

I have been an IBCLC for over 7 years, with experience in a hospital setting. I have done in home independent consulting with families for the past 3 years as well. I am also a post-partum RN (BSN) with over 25 years experience. My goal is to make breastfeeding goals and plans with you that create success for you and baby.
