Aline lives in NE Portland, in a small intentional community. They live with their partner, two children (a 4 year old and a 7 year old), and five other wonderful humans. When Aline is not providing doula care, they might be planning community events and parties, dancing, doing pilates and yoga, cooking, or spending time with their kids.
Aline is committed to serving Portland families regardless of sexual orientation, race, national origin, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, religion, or physical or mental disability. Aline is striving to help create a more equitable world.
A postpartum doula was, we thought, out of the realm of possibility for us. We are so grateful to Aline for making it a reality. Their help and support in those early days meant showers, naps, and hot meals for both parents. Well timed reminders of self-care were both needed and appreciated. Aline’s respect for our family’s values and decisions made me a more confident parent. Thank you! Thank you!
