Birth Doula in
Portland, Oregon
We believe that how birth happens, matters. As your doula through pregnancy and labor, our work is to support you with presence, guidance, and evidence-based information. Our PDX doulas will help you to feel empowered to step into parenthood smoothly and assuredly with a strong community surrounding and supporting you as your birth doula in Portland, Oregon.
Portland Postpartum Doula
A postpartum doula extends your community of care during this delicate time of growth. We provide physical, emotional, and informational support to help ease your transition into parenthood. We’ll work with you to find the best way we can support your family as your postpartum doula in Portland. In light of Covid-19, we limit the number of families each postpartum doula supports and we are even available to provide dedicated support to just your household.
What is a Doula?
Your doula is a personal childbirth expert who advocates for your preferences throughout labor. A birth doula offers unbiased information support, physical support, emotional support, and advocacy support when and where it is needed. Doulas provide professional labor support, childbirth education, and community throughout the journey of childbirth.
Does insurance cover doula services in Portland, Oregon?
While most standard private insurance plans may not cover the cost of doula in Portland, many providers offer optional maternity care bundles that allow birthing people to access doula care without breaking the bank. If you have that option through your employer-provided or privately purchased healthcare benefits, it’s a great way to ensure you get the maternity, birth, and postpartum support you need.
