Welcome to Sacred Family Birth Services

My name is Michelle Paul and I am a birth and postpartum doula serving Portland and SW Washington. It is my passion to serve all families on their journey into parenthood regardless of how that comes about for them. I believe that everyone deserves to have loving, nurturing and non-judgmental care during this sacred time in their lives. Birth doula services will provide you with the information, physical and emotional support necessary to help you achieve your birth goals. Postpartum work will assist you in healing and bonding with your new baby by ensuring that your needs and the needs of your home and other family members are being met. I look forward to being a knowledgeable, calm and encouraging presence during this new phase of life.

eases pain with a touch, a word, a look…
