We are a collective of doulas in Oregon who do baby things and baby stuff. It's great. You're gonna love it. We serve Terrebonne, Madras, Culver, Redmond, Bend, Sisters, and Powell Butte.
I am a lifelong Oregonian and have called Bend home since 2005. From the endless sunny days, to the fresh smell of juniper and pine after a rain, Central Oregon takes my breath away. I enjoy being out in nature, reading, and spending time with my favorite humans.I proudly provide doula services to families throughout Oregon.
I wanted to become a Doula to help real life mothers have the birth they desire. With each friend or sibling who became a parent, I learned a little more about the way we treat prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. It has opened my eyes that we are not supporting the birthing person or the family nearly as much as we should. I believe we can do better. My goal is to help families find and create the birth they want as well as provide care after baby is in their arms. It doesn’t matter if you want to have your baby at home or in a hospital, every birthing person needs support for their decisions and I will be that support. I am here to remind you to trust in the strength of your body during this time.
"What’s peace of mind? It’s knowing Meg and or Kathleen are in the next room caring for your little one as if it’s their own. It’s knowing they are following your schedule and routine as best as one can with a newborn. It’s allowing you extra time with your little one while dishes and bottles are getting done. There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful I am for the two of them and the peace of mind they give me on my journey."

"Being a first time mom, I felt overwhelmed with all the choices and processes leading up to my birth. Knowing my husband and I had two experts in the field and hospital put us at ease. Kathleen was at our birth and walked us through some tough moments before meeting our son. I would choose a doula, specifically this team, over and over again if we are lucky enough to have another baby someday."
-Jenny
"Meg & Kathleen were compassionate and sensitive to traumas and fears that we were carrying into the birth experience. They made us feel heard and put as at ease with their in-depth knowledge of what the labor and delivery experience would be like. We knew that they would have our backs when the going got tough during birth. Almost a year later, they still check in on us and the baby. Even though our relationship formed around support for labor and delivery, I know they will be part of our family village for a long time to come."

"Meg was thoughtful and kind throughout the entire postpartum experience. She is knowledgable and very “get things done” but not in a pushy or controlling way - she lets you take the lead but offers needed guidance. I trust her completely with my baby- and she even helped me shower that first time!"
