Our Services
Birth Doula
Portland Professional Doula Associates are here to support you through pregnancy, birth and beyond. With our group prenatal visit model, you’ll have more time to get to know our Doulas as well as the opportunity to form bonds with other families in similar life stages.
Postpartum Doula
The early postpartum period is a special time. Let us nurture you during those early days so that you can focus on what’s important: recovery and bonding with your baby.
Our Doulas are Newborn Care Specialists and are experts in Lactation Support.
Classes
We believe that education during pregnancy provides the opportunity for positive labor and birth experiences. We offer childbirth education and breastfeeding classes. These classes may be taken from anywhere in the world and in your time zone! Click to see our current offerings.
Lactation
We believe that every family should feel confident in their choices around feeding their child. We offer classes to help facilitate your chest/breast feeding experience.
