Home About Doulas Meet Corvallis Doulas Fees Resources


We are birth and postpartum doulas serving Corvallis, OR and surrounding areas.

Doulas are hired by the birthing couple.

We work with obstetricians and midwives in hospitals, birthing centers, and homebirths.

We promote positive communication among all members of the birthing team.

We give unconditional, continous support.

Did you know that...

A doula's presence at birth has been clinically established to improve outcomes for mother and baby.

In the postpartum period, a doula's guidance empowers and encourages new parents.

Unlike healthcare providers, doulas do not work in shifts and so can provide continuity of care.

Studies have revealed that a doula's support has benefits including shorter labors, lower epidural and cesarean section rates, and higher satisfaction with breastfeeding.

Fathers have reported feeling reassured by a doula's presence and feeling better able to support their mates.

Doulas are here to:

  • listen without judging
  • offer information without giving advice
  • discuss steps with parents
  • help parents identify their options
  • help parents learn to choose
  • help mothers discover what they are feeling
