About: Welcome

Doula Aleecia:

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.

My goal as your doula is to help clients make it to that finish line, through the journey that birth can be. The most important aspect of my work is building trust with clients. Birth is personal, vulnerable and a sacred environment that should be respected. It is imperative that clients trust and are comfortable with me. I make sure to really listen to client's and their desires to be a successful support person at their birth.

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.

Aleecia is AMAZING! She is so insightful, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, kind-hearted, and patient! I am so glad I picked her to be my doula. Her expertise kept me well informed through out my pregnancy. From choosing where to deliver, to getting information about ways to care for my body through acupuncture and massage, Aleecia had an unlimited amount of researched suggestions and recommendations. Due to her amazing coaching, my baby girl was born quick and easy without any major tearing. As a first time mom, laboring with her was everything I could have ever hoped for. She kept me at ease and focused, as well as upbeat and joyous. Everyone deserves an Aleecia in their labor room! - Sade

My partner and I decided to include a doula in our birth experience because we wanted someone to support us emotionally and physically during my birth. Aleecia was such an amazing doula for my partner and I. She was so supportive during my pregnancy and birth and my postpartum care. She was always present and checking in. She's knowledgeable and always connected me with really helpful resources. She was so calm and supportive and made my birth experience, beautiful and seem so blissful. She advocated for me and it made me feel seen and important. I appreciate and am so thankful for Aleecia, a beautiful soul. If I decide to have another baby I would definitely want Aleecia as my doula again. Thank you so much Aleecia, you were amazing! - Day

Aleecia was everything I could have asked for in a doula. She consistently checked in on me with visits all the way up until I gave birth and each visit I felt very confident that my birth was going to be a pleasant and exciting experience with her compassionate and empathetic support. She made me feel so comfortable about the birthing process and even printed out my birth plan to hand out to the nurses at the hospital because she wanted to make sure my voice was heard about how I wanted things to go. She has such a bright and positive energy and I'm very lucky I got to have her as my doula for my first baby. - Destiny
