About Stumptown Doulas

Who we are. What we are about.

Our Vision

Stumptown Doulas’ vision is to provide nurturing, professional Doula care to expecting and new families in the Portland Oregon area. From pregnancy through the newborn transition, our team of trained Doulas offers evidence-based Doula care, understanding support groups, informational classes and helpful resources.

Here at Stumptown Doulas, we offer the expectant family a welcoming space, a listening ear, an understanding mind, complete advocacy, and a genuine connection, every time. We endeavor to foster a community of acceptance, learning and sharing through each family’s journey to parenthood.

We Believe

We believe that the thought of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum time can feel daunting to most. We will share all of our knowledge and helpful tips to hopefully make this transition to parenthood as seamless as possible for you.

We believe that there is no “right” way for you to give birth. Only your way. And we will stand by your side for every moment of it.

We believe that giving birth is a life changing experience and that it can be both positive and traumatic at the same time. Having support through this time can help ease the potential trauma that sometimes follows birth. We are here to advocate for and with you.

We believe that it is okay to not be okay during any part of this. And we are here to hear why, if you feel the desire to share. But we are also here to sit in the silence with you and hold space if it just feels too heavy for you to carry on your own.
