Hello, friend! My name is Josie and I have been a Birth Doula since 2019. My goal as your Doula is to help you have the most satisfying birth experience possible by supporting you physically, emotionally, and educationally. As your Doula I will help you advocate for yourself so that you feel both seen and heard by the medical staff, I will help support you physically as you progress in labor, and I will be there as an encouragement and champion for you and your partner throughout your journey. I love pampering women in labor, but I'm also there to be a Doula to the partner/spouse because we all know it's a team effort. My goal is never to replace your labor support, but rather add to, direct, and encourage them. I love to craft, make jokes, cuddle my toddler when he lets me, read books, and wander throughout Oregon’s woods and coastlines. I’m an introvert and an enneagram 9, but I can be loud and fun, so don’t go confusing shy for quiet. 😉 I can’t wait to meet you!

Women are amazing humans and watching them give birth is a true testament to their grit, sacrifice, and strength -- no matter how they birth. As a Birth Doula, I want each of my clients to feel heard and seen, to know that they have a voice and are worthy of respect. Pampering women in labor is a joy for me, but I am also there to be a Doula to the partner/spouse because birth is a team effort. My goal is never to replace your labor support, but rather add to, direct, and encourage them to help serve you during labor.
