Portland, Oregon
Birth and postpartum care,
the way it should feel.
We are Maya and Jenny, doulas working together as Fern and Dawn since 2018. Steady, kind support for you and your family, before and after your baby comes.
How we help
Three ways to be cared for
Every family starts with a free hour long meet and greet. Fit matters more than anything in this work.
Birth support
Two prenatal visits, on call from week 38, and one of us beside you through labor. One postpartum visit to check in after.
Postpartum support
Day or overnight shifts at home. Feeding help, newborn care, a meal, and real rest for parents.
Welcome Home
Our full package. Birth support plus forty postpartum hours, so you are held from the first contraction to settled at home.
Who we are
A calm presence you can trust
We are two doulas who love this work and have done it a long time. Between us we have supported over two hundred births, at home and in hospital.
We are both DONA certified, trained in lactation basics and infant CPR. We support all families. Single parents, LGBTQ families, surrogacy journeys, everyone.
More about us
Maya held our whole family together the week our daughter came early.
Let us start with tea
The free meet and greet is where everything begins. No pressure, just a chance to see if we are the right fit for you.
