A Doula in Portland, Oregon for Every Kind of Birth
At Baby Nest, we know that no two births, or families, are the same. As trusted doulas in Portland, Oregon, we've supported parents from all walks of life: first-time moms navigating the unknown, Seasoned parents looking to do things differently this time, families choosing peaceful water births, and those confidently planning an epidural from day one.
What unites them all? They want to feel supported, informed, and empowered, no matter how or where they give birth.
Hiring a doula in Portland, Oregon doesn’t mean you’re planning an “all-natural” birth (though that’s great too). It means you want a grounded, experienced professional by your side.
Someone who helps you understand your options, feel confident in your choices, and make birth a positive, supported experience from start to finish.
For nearly 20 years, Baby Nest has been a leading doula agency serving families throughout Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, WA. Our experienced, certified doulas are passionate about providing respectful, inclusive care - whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between.
Here’s what’s included in our birth doula package:
Unlimited phone, text & email support throughout your pregnancy for questions, education, and encouragement

What Our Clients Are Saying
Sherilee made a world of difference at both of my children’s births! In my mind, it doesn’t matter if you are planning a natural birth or getting an epidural the moment you arrive at the hospital, having Sherilee as my doula made sure that all details were tended too and I didn’t have to worry or think about anything outside of labor. She allowed the stress, nerves and pressure of this life-changing event to diminish and ensured that I felt supported the entire time. There is no way that I would ever have a baby without her there as my doula!
- Anna C.
I cannot put a price on what our Baby Nest doula did for us! Having her beside us to answer any questions, knowing we had her support helped put our fears to rest. She was right there when times got intense to give me an extra boost of encouragement and was ever-present to my partner's needs too. My birth would have not been the same without having our doula. We highly recommend Baby Nest to parents about to bring a new life into the world.
- Carolyn F.
Having a doula from Baby Nest by our side was invaluable. Their support made us feel more confident and allowed me as the husband to fully focus on my wife and helped me be a better support to her. They were exceptional at providing guidance during tough decisions and acted as a buffer between us and the medical staff. Our experience wouldn't have been as incredible without a doula from Baby Nest.
- Thomas S.

Nope! We support all kinds of births from home births, to planned epidurals, to C-sections, to inductions, to hospital births.
Our job isn’t to push an agenda, it’s to support your choices and help you have a positive birth experience.
You can have both because the roles are different. Midwives focus on clinical care, while doulas focus on emotional and physical support.
We work beautifully together!
