Thank you gemi beauty | Clean K-beauty Hand Sanitizer + Serum™ for reaching out and sending me these samples!

After a long overnight shift, I came home to these amazing products.

They sent me three of their hand sanitizer + serums.

💜Eden is Fuji apple & rose
💜Caela is green tea and bergamot
💜 Elysium is vanilla + peony scent.

I decided to try the Elysium and it smells amazing!

Gemi is a small, female and AAPI founded brand created by two longtime friends. Their K-beauty powered hand sanitizer + serum is infused with vitamins and nutrients to hydrate, nourish and support the skin barrier while sanitizing your hands.

I can’t wait to try this out & let ya’ll know!! New parents (and doulas) wash their hands A LOT. This could be really key.

Oh and they are vegan, cruelty-free and clean products!

✨ One of the biggest misconceptions about doulas is that we’re there to take over.

We’re not.

A doula isn’t a replacement for your partner, your support person, your midwife, your OB, or your own intuition.

Instead, we become another layer of support.

🤍 I help you understand your options without telling you what to choose.
🤍 I encourage your partner and loved ones so they feel confident supporting you.
🤍 I work alongside your medical team because everyone has an important role.
🤍 I protect your space, hold your hand, remind you to breathe, offer comfort measures, and help you feel seen, heard, and respected.

Birth isn’t about someone else making the “right” decisions for you.

It’s about you having the information, support, and confidence to make the decisions that feel right for your body, your baby, and your family.

My role isn’t to lead your birth.

My role is to walk beside you while you lead it.

💙 What questions do you have about what doulas do (or don’t do)? I’d love to answer them in the comments. 🌊🌙

Hi. I’m still here. 🌙🌊🌀

It’s been a while.

The truth is, I’ve spent the last several months doing what I love most; supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. I’ve been teaching yoga, holding space, learning, growing, and pouring my energy into the people sitting right in front of me.

But I miss this little corner of the internet.

So…hello. Whether you’re new here or we’ve known each other for years, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself.

I’m Jess (she/they), the human behind Portland Doula Company.

I’m a full-spectrum doula, trauma-informed yoga teacher, Reiki Master, artist, and lifelong learner. I’m endlessly fascinated by pregnancy, birth, postpartum, nervous system regulation, and the incredible wisdom our bodies carry.

Outside of birth work, you’ll usually find me tending to my ever-growing plant collection, walking by the ocean, making art, collecting rocks and sea glass, listening to reggae, or dreaming up my next creative project.

I believe every person deserves care that is rooted in respect, informed choice, compassion, and consent. I believe birth is deeply personal, there is no single “right” way to do it, and people deserve to feel heard—not judged—as they make decisions for themselves and their families.

Around here, I’ll be sharing evidence-based birth education, trauma-informed resources, postpartum support, honest conversations, and little glimpses into the things that inspire me along the way.

I’m really glad you’re here.

What an amazing birthday bash we had yesterday!!

I had the profound honor of supporting an incredible family as they welcomed their baby into the world. Witnessing the strength, tenderness, courage, and love that filled the room was a beautiful reminder of why I do this work.

To this family: thank you for trusting me to walk beside you during one of the most meaningful days of your lives. It is never something I take for granted. Being invited into such a sacred space is one of the greatest privileges of being a doula.

May this next chapter be filled with rest when you can find it, gentleness as you get to know one another, and countless moments of wonder as you fall in love with your newest family member.

Welcome, little one. 🩵🌊🌙

In the last 4 weeks we welcomed 2 babies earth side!!

In April, a baby girl and on Mother’s Day, a baby boy.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to get to know these parents, walk this journey with them and witness the transformation from a party of 2 to a party of 3.

I am accepting birth clients with due dates in September, October and November. If you are considering a doula, I’d love to set up a free zoom chat!

Happy birthday little one!

All births are magical and this birth was a special one to close out 2025.

May you be healthy, may you be happy, may you have peace. 🌸🌞

Sharing!!

You’re holding your newborn. Your partner finally takes a nap. And suddenly, it’s just you and the tiny human. What now?

Boot Camp for New Dads gives expectant fathers the practical skills, real talk, and confidence for moments like these. This half-day workshop helps dads-to-be feel prepared, and connected to a local community of fathers on the same journey.

Led by a veteran dad and skilled facilitator, you’ll get hands-on newborn care practice, support for navigating your role as a new dad, and space to ask the questions you might not ask elsewhere.

You’ll leave with:

- Practical tools you’ll actually use in the first months of parenting
- Confidence built through hands-on practice
- A community of dads to lean on, ask questions, and share the journey

Next sessions: Nov 8 & Dec 6
9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Birth Roots Maine, Portland ME

You can come to my Birthing Preferences workshop at on 10/18!

I used evidence based information and a trauma informed approach to giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision. We will use my Birth Preference worksheet to note your choices and you will be able to give this to your birth team.

Space is limited so we have time to discuss, ask questions, etc. Registration is $75 and includes 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 the pregnant person and a support person.
