Fall 2024 / Winter 2025 Update:
Please note that I'm not currently taking on any clients for birth support at this time, as I will be on maternity leave from December '24 through April '25. I'm still offering limited 1:1 childbirth classes and postpartum support through November '24. Please reach out for a referral to my wonderful community of local birth doulas!

From planning for birth to postpartum recovery, it is my privilege to support you and your family during this chapter. We'll work together to identify your priorities, honor your birth intentions, and build a strong birthing team. When you hire Empowered Birth Care, you're gaining a certified birth doula to help keep you and your priorities at the center.

Costs:
- Birth support costs range from $1000 to $1500 - all clients receive the same level of care, you choose the price that fits your household budget.
- Additional postpartum doula support available at $50/hr. Please note Pacific Source Community Solutions Members are eligible for up to 15 hours of postpartum support, in addition to the doula benefit. Ask me for more info!
- I am a certified birth doula with the State of Oregon's Traditional Health Worker (THW) Registry. As a registered THW, I can work with folks who have coverage through the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and get reimbursed directly through your plan, with no additional cost to you. Please contact me to learn more about this service!
A note about pro bono work: I try to offer at least one birth pro bono per year to clients who do not have OHP and find doula care to be a financial hardship and/or clients under the age of eighteen. If you need doula care and are under 18 and/or can’t afford it, please reach out to discuss options. If I’m not able to be your doula this year, I can try to refer you to another doula.
