Hi, I’m Hannah! Born and raised in Milwaukie, Oregon I’ve always felt a deep connection to my community and the incredible strength of the women in it. From a young age, I knew I was destined to walk alongside women during one of the most transformative moments of their lives—childbirth. My journey as a doula is rooted in a deep passion for celebrating the incredible strength of childbirth and the joy that comes with welcoming new life. I truly enjoy getting to know my clients and their support teams before I’m invited into such an intimate moment in their lives.
Growing up in a large family and spending my early years babysitting and serving my community, I developed a natural sense of responsibility and a love for helping families. I bring an empathetic and supportive presence during times of need, while also being knowledgeable, resourceful, and fun to be around. In my free time, you can usually find me with a camera in my hand or exploring nature. Creativity is my happy place and keeps me grounded and inspired. It’s a great way to recharge and bring that same creative spark into my work as a doula, helping me stay calm, flexible, and positive no matter what the day (or night!) brings.
What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to respect and advocacy. I believe my role as a doula is to ensure you feel safe, heard, and empowered every step of the way. I honor all choices and experiences, and I’ll always meet you exactly where you are, no matter your background, family structure, or birth preferences.
In addition to being a certified birth and postpartum doula, I offer placenta encapsulation, maternity and newborn photography, as well as canvas prints.
My values include:
• Ensuring you feel safe and respected
• Providing unwavering support and advocacy
• Helping you fully understand your options and opportunities
• Empowering you as the decision-maker in your birth experience
It’s truly an honor to be part of such a special time in your life, and my goal is to help you feel safe, well informed, and joyful throughout your journey. I would love to be part of your birth team, supporting you every step of the way and celebrating this beautiful time with you!
