Alicia Morin, CD(DONA)

I currently reside in Portland, Oregon with my husband and three wonderful children.  I consider myself fortunate to have had great support from family and friends during the birth experiences of my own three children.

I had the privilege of attending my first birth over fourteen years ago, long before I discovered the doula business.  Since then, I have had many opportunities to provide support for friends, family and clients.  I began to see this as a passion and a calling in my life.  I chose to become a doula due to my desire to help women during their pregnancy and birth. 

I attended doula training and received my certification through DONA (Doulas of North America) in 2003.  I have since attended over 60 births as a doula. My professional experience includes: vaginal, cesarean, un-medicated, medicated, labor induction, vacuum/forceps delivery, water birth, and VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean).

My experience as a doula led me to pursue working as a Medical Assistant in an OB/Gyn office, serving women during their prenatal visits.  I enjoy both aspects of my professional careers, as they are both different, but very rewarding.
