Hi, I’m Marley— a birth doula based in the Portland area. Babies and children have always been a passion of mine, before becoming a Doula my background was in childcare for more than 9 years. In my free time, I love to be home, reading or hanging with my 5lb chihuahua Winnie. I also love to explore local restaurants with my husband. I completed my doula training through Doula Love, a DONA International and OHA approved training course. I practice from and evidence-based, compassionate, trauma-informed lens, aiming to support every family in the birth they choose. My goal is to make you feel seen, valued, and respected while going through this huge transformative journey.

Hi, I’m Marley—your doula and passionate advocate for birth. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel supported, informed, and deeply respected throughout their journey. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by a trauma-informed lens, ensuring that the care I provide is not only rooted in knowledge but also in compassion and safety. I strive to create a truly judgment-free space where all parents feel welcomed, seen, and empowered to make the choices that are right for them. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering encouragement, comfort, and tools that help you feel confident in your decisions and connected to your experience. Birth is powerful—and you don’t have to do it alone.
Marley was a such a gentle and calming presence during early labor. She helped me stay relaxed and in the zone while laboring in the delivery room and was an amazing emotional support to both me and my partner!
