"Natalie's presence, her trust in birth and my body, and knowing I wasn't alone to cope was a big part in my successful home birth. I'm forever grateful to her!"

- Amy, Portland OR

Welcome friend! I'm Natalie

Natalie with her husband and two kids

I knew I wanted to be a birth doula after the incredibly empowering birth experiences of my own two children.

I had two unmedicated births, one at a birth center, and one at home, both on OHP!

Now, we live on a small farm in St. Helens where we raise chickens, goats, and grow our own food. I love babywearing, cloth diapering, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing a little breastmilk can't fix!

You intuitively know how to move and how to breathe for birth.

You instinctively know how and when to birth your baby.

You deserve to emerge from your birth feeling confident, having discovered the power and strength you possess.

My role is to empower your innate knowing through verbal, emotional, and physical support, keeping the tradition of female attended birth support rooted in an ancient lineage of maternal ancestral wisdom.

When I notice an invitation to act, I'll make suggestions that might help your labor to progress, such as optimizing your baby's position, leading to a faster, easier birth.

  • I have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor
  • I use swear words on the regular
  • Informed choice is important to me, expect lots of information sharing
  • I want us to spend time together, connecting, listening and learning
  • I love tattoos, chickens, gardening, and conspiracy theories
  • I have a passion for documentary birth photography
