Doula in Portland Oregon

As a Doula in Portland Oregon, I have dedicated myself to this line of heartfelt work because I believe that an empowering and beautiful birth is possible with the right support. I understand the unpredictable and wonderfully unique nature of each birth and am honored to guide all my clients with deep listening, specialized care, and a calm presence in order to support the newest beginnings, from pregnancy to postpartum, that will have a ripple effect on the rest of their lives. I have a deep respect for the rites of passage mothers and families go through and honor the transitional nature of each process with steady care and gentle reverence. As a Doula in Portland Oregon, I love the diversity of family structures here in Portland. I am a Queer Ally & have experience working with alternative family structures ranging from Hetero-normative to LGBTQ to Poly-centric households.

My Birth Doula style really encompasses supporting movement, massage, & utilizing the voice. I encourage my client’s to dance, sway, & get into their animal bodies. I support these movements while offering loving touch all throughout labor. And when things start to get real, encouraging each birther to use their voice!

Since beginning my practice in 2016, I have continued to grow and strengthen my Birth work practice by adding in special offerings—> Nourishing you in the Fourth Trimester with warming meals, massage, herbal baths, teas, & pelvic steam treatments. I love teaching In-Home Newborn Education so each parent feels more confident and competent. I value giving special attention to partners and/or other family members so that they too can feel empowered to walk gracefully into parenthood and so that the needs of new mothers are further cared for and nurtured.

In addition to being a Doula in Portland Oregon, I have enhanced my practice by offering professional Birth & Lifestyle Photography for the families I have the honor of supporting! We take a deep dive together when I capture the excitement of having a "Baby Bump" with a Maternity Photo Session. Showing up in the raw & wild birth space as a Doula & Birth Photographer magnifies the joy I have for my work! Each role complementing the other. And lastly, when it is time to bring your baby home, I revel in showing my families the LOVE that I see behind my lens for our Newborn & Family Photo Sessions. 

Dancing, singing, painting, & being a big goof are big parts of my life. I have been a part of a vivacious dance community here in Portland since 2018, which has fueled my passion for deep healing embodiment practices. I also appreciate the importance of rest, being out in nature, and making authentic connections with those around me.
