Meet the Doulas

Community Doula Program (CDP) doulas provide physical, emotional, and information support during birth, pregnancy, and the early weeks of parenting. Currently more than 100 doulas provide care to families who speak the same language and/or share a similar culture.

Meet some of our current doulas

Ghada

Hi, my name is Ghada. I am a doula serving families in Benton county. I love helping people and being like a mom to them. I enjoy working with all families and speaking Arabic allows me to help other Arabic speaking women and families. It brings great joy to me when I hear from women that they feel so happy and well supported having me as their doula.

Yesenia

Hi, my name is Yesenia and I love being a doula. I dream of a day when I can work full time as a doula serving families in Linn, Benton, Lincoln, Lane, Marion, and Polk counties. I am in the process of becoming a qualified medical interpreter so that I can expand the services that I offer to the Spanish speaking families that I serve. I love being present when a baby is born and helping families communicate with medical staff. My clients have shared that they feel well supported and pampered by having me as their doula.

Delia

I am a Mother, Grandmother, Birthkeeper and passionate about breaking generational chains. I bring my background as a Somatic Trauma Resolution Practitioner into my current work, supporting others to reconnect to their bodies. I also integrate my love of herbs as a Pelvic Steam Facilitator.

Alyx

Hello! My name is Alyx. I am a birth and postpartum Doula serving Lane, Linn, Benton, and Polk counties. I have three daughters of my own and have experienced birth in a hospital, a birth center, and my home. I have a huge amount of appreciation for different birth spaces and how personal they are to every woman. I am a firm believer in the magic of childbirth. This is a special time for new life, but it is also a celebration between a birthing person and their partner. My goal is to assist in the magic making to the best of my ability.

Jasmine

Jasmine is a full spectrum doula, educator and placenta specialist. Jasmine began her professional career in the culinary world, before transitioning to teaching prenatal yoga for many wonderful years. Her background in holistic nutrition as well as yoga philosophy and movement all continue to influence the work that she does today, supporting families through the transitions of fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. When Jasmine is not at a birth, you can find her snuggled up in a coffee shop with a book, on a trail with her dog or in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes with her family.

Maryanne

The birth of a child is something we often revisit over and over again in our heads. It is an honor to work with women, preparing them for this miraculous journey. Birth matters. How women are treated before, during and after birth matters. I serve my clients to the best of my ability, guiding them in the direction they chose. Watching them thrive and meet their goals brings me so much joy. I am your biggest cheerleader!
