Hi! I’m Aleecia, wife, mother and Full Spectrum Doula. My love for lactation has led me to also becoming a Certified Lactation Specialist. I enjoy being outdoors, and spending time with my husband and our children.
Birth work has been called to me because I thrive by helping and caring for others. In June of 2019, is where I began my Birth Doula training at Birthingway College of Midwifery in SE Portland. That same year, I started practicing as a new doula in the fall. In 2022, I went back and completed my certification. This is truly heart work and I am so grateful for all the families I have met and birthing experiences I have been apart of this far and can't wait for the new chapters ahead.
As a black woman, I am passionate about supporting the black community and other marginalized communities. It is important to me to be a familiar face and a sense of safety for better birth outcomes for black and brown people. I am also passionate about reproductive justice for all women and people & strive to be an advocate for all.
As your doula, I provide knowledge, so that clients feel secure in their decision making, birth plan and environment. Comfort, in having a care provider that is culturally and linguistically specific and a member of the care team that you regularly connect with and trust. I hope by our last prenatal visit that you are well informed and comfortable in consenting to your own experiences in the birthing environment and to take control and feel confident in advocating for your own autonomy. However, to always know that I am here for support.
