Sarah Hope, Portland Doula

I am the mother of four beautifully wild children and have been providing infant care for the last twenty years. I am passionate about providing parents with calm and confident postpartum support as they navigate the ups and downs of early childhood. My personal experience with traumatic birth, miscarriage, and perinatal mood and anxiety challenges allow me to be fully present with families who are living through grief, and it is my heart’s work to provide them with a listening ear, companionship, and reassurance.

I am a licensed massage therapist with certifications in shiatsu, prenatal massage, and infant massage, and I enjoy teaching parents how to massage their babies for those who are interested. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family building sand castles on the beach, snowboarding in the mountains, kayaking on lakes, floating down rivers, dancing, playing games, and doing crafty things at home.
