Shaelia Branch, Doula

I’m Shaelia Branch, a Portland-based birth and postpartum doula, child educator, and sacred space holder. I offer gentle, heart-centered support to families as they journey through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season. My purpose is to help you feel safe, informed, and empowered—no matter what path your birth takes. Rooted in empathy, I honor the sacred rites of passage that come with welcoming new life. With training in labor support, placenta encapsulation, lactation, loss and bereavement, vaginal steaming, and more, I offer holistic care that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. My own healing began in 2018, and it awakened a deep passion to walk alongside others as they reconnect with themselves through birth, parenting, and self-care. Which led me to create space for healing and restoration through spiritual energy services and therapeutic practices. I believe in the power of presence, love, and education. My work is guided by the Biopsychosocial Model, embracing the full spectrum of human experience—physically, emotionally, and socially. My goal is to help you trust your body, your voice, and your journey.
