It's World Doula Week, and we're celebrating the 150+ doulas we've trained in the Community Doula Program 🎉

Doula care is a powerful tool in achieving your goals. With a doula, you're more likely to:
✅ experience a low-intervention birth
✅ be satisfied with your birth
✅ have a more alert infant right after birth
✅ start breastfeeding your baby, and do it for longer

Join us in saying "thank you" to these incredible birthworkers who have provided over 1400 (!) of you with care in pregnancy and beyond! 💞

Harrison, whose blood contained a rare antibody, died in his sleep on Feb. 17 at a nursing home in the Australian state of New South Wales, according to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

We want you to know that for most moms who have any Medicaid or Oregon health plan insurance, that your birth center birth would be completely covered by your insurance.

Interested in learning more or coming to check out the birth center? Give us a call!
