Hi, I'm Ellen, a certified full spectrum doula serving Oregon's Mid-Willamette Valley. Welcoming a new addition to your family is a transformative event. Every birth situation is unique and all expecting families can benefit from having knowledgeable, dedicated support tailored to their needs and wishes. My goal is to help families be confident, prepared and fully supported for the best possible experience, no matter the path. I strive to empower families through compassionate, unbiased, judgment-free doula care and provide trustworthy information and resources to aid in informed decision-making. It is a privilege to be a part of the birth of a new family and to build relationships and learn from everyone I work with. I have additional training in lactation, birth equity, acupressure and massage for labor, aromatherapy, VBAC, trauma prevention, infant loss and birth justice. I'm Body Ready Method™ certified Pro and an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor
