Megan Drain
I have always been extremely fascinated with the natural instinct of a mother when it comes to her newborn baby and her birthing experience. It’s absolutely amazing what we are instinctually capable of and I want to remind you of how incredible you, your body and your baby are.
I can spend hours upon hours researching and educating myself on birth, placentas, babies and postpartum without it even feeling like I’m working. This is truly my calling and I feel that it’s so important for every mom to be heard and nourished as if she were our own mother, sister or friend. I desire to be the Doula that you can come to for any reason whether it’s prenatally, during labor or during postpartum with any questions or concerns you may have. My goal is to be a listening ear, offer you unbiased guidance, evidence based information and resources if needed, as well as comfort measures and/or reassurance, so that you can just rest, relax and focus on the important task you have at hand.
Megan is currently located in Northeast Portland and has two children, a husband and a dog. When she’s not assisting families, you can find her in the kitchen baking recipes with her sourdough starter, gardening and making flower arrangements with her homegrown flowers, beach camping and hiking with her family, studying nutrition or curled up next to a fire with a good book and a cozy blanket.
