Rebekka Maye, Portland Doula
My life experience has enriched my doula work by helping me to become a more empathetic, intuitive, and active listener. My goal as your doula is to hold space for you, provide comfort physically and emotionally, and encourage you to listen to your intuition as you navigate this journey called birth. My specialties as a doula include evidence based information, trauma informed care, aromatherapy, and breastfeeding support. Out of hospital birth support has a special place in my heart as well.
One of my favorite ways to connect with my clients and build relationship is over sharing a meal together. Nothing is quite like bringing a piece of yourself in the form of delicious food and creating the opportunity for honest discussion, laughter, and getting to know each other.
In addition to being a birth doula, I also love supporting families as a postpartum doula, placenta specialist, and studying to become a future childbirth educator.
I grew up in a small town out in the Gorge on 5 acres of land where we had horses, goats, chickens, etc. At university I studied American Sign Language interpreting in Minneapolis, but knew I would always make my way back to the West Coast. I love to travel and try to visit a new place every year. I’ve been to 14 countries in Europe, Canada, 40 of the states, and hopefully Mexico soon. I have a deep love for languages, culture, history, and people.
I’m so happy to be raising my 3 boys here in the PNW in such a beautiful part of the world. We love to be in nature, especially camping, hiking, and swimming.
