Meet Ellen

Hi! I’m Ellen Friedman (she/her), a postpartum doula based in Portland, Oregon. With a passion for supporting new families during one of life’s most transformative times, I offer compassionate, hands-on care to help you navigate the postpartum journey. Whether you’re seeking guidance on infant care, feeding support, or simply need an extra set of hands, I am here to help you feel confident every step of the way.

My interest in doula work began in 2015, when I completed my Birth Doula (DONA) training and supported families through the birth experience. However, it was after I gave birth to my own children when I discovered my true passion for postpartum support. I was so deeply appreciative of the postpartum care that I received as a new parent, that I felt myself drawn to help ease the transition for new families. I officially became a Certified Postpartum Doula (DONA) in 2024.
