Alicia Edeline
Portland Doula

“My experience with Alicia was beautiful. Although I didn’t find out about doula care until very late in my pregnancy it was just enough time for Alicia to take absolute care of me and my baby. I went into labor around 3:30AM Sunday morning and I didn’t have my baby until 7:31AM Monday morning, Alicia never left my side. She was there to make sure I was comfortable, confident and that I could do this. I really needed that, especially with this being my first pregnancy. She was a real blessing to me and my family and I will be forever grateful.”

“Not only was Alicia professional from the very start, but she was warm, caring, and you could tell she not only loved what she was doing, but that she had already started loving our family as well. During our first two meetings she asked all of the right questions, she brought my husband into the conversation rather than just focusing on me, and her positivity was contagious. On the day of my delivery, Alicia showed up prepared, bright eyed and ready to go. She remained a calm and loving presence during the whole labor and delivery process and I really felt that she was 100% committed to making our experience the best and most amazing as possible. Her presence was felt, but not overwhelming and oh so supportive . . . If you are looking for a calm, confident, professional and above all caring doula for your birth experience I highly recommend using Alicia.”

“Alicia has been an amazing doula to work with. This is my first pregnancy and I knew I really wanted to have a doula there to support me during my birthing experience. Alicia has exceeded all of my expectations and I’m so glad that she was there to help me through these challenging and wonderful new experiences of motherhood. She has been supportive and very informative throughout my pregnancy, labor and postpartum journey and has never been judgmental or biased on any of my decisions. When we decide to have another baby, I would definitely want to have Alicia along for the ride again!”

“Alicia was an incredible source of support, humor, and care leading up to and during the birth of our baby boy. We felt instantly at ease & in good hands with questions asked and information provided. Having Alicia as part of our birthing process made all the difference and provided us with confidence that we wouldn’t have had without her by our side.”

Andrhea, NE Portland

“Simply put – Alicia radiates warmth and compassion as a doula. My husband and I long debated hiring a doula, but knew it was the right thing to do when we found Alicia and Bri. Their support was IMPERATIVE as we navigated the gray area of two different birth scenarios literally until the last minute. While we desired a “natural-as-possible” birth, we ultimately had an attempted (failed) ECV followed by C-section due to our son’s “breeched whale” presentation. Alicia was knowledgeable, well-researched and unbiased as she helped us weigh all of our options; honored my transition from “maiden to mother” (as she so eloquently put it); reassuringly explained the scary stuff; empowered me to speak up during pre-op when something was unclear. We would eagerly request her support during a future pregnancy and birth!”
