Empowered BIRTH

“Camille was so wonderful to work with! She helped my wife and I prepare for the arrival of our daughter, was present every moment during the birth, and was an amazing resource throughout postpartum.

Camille is an incredibly skilled Doula and an amazing advocate, who always kept my wife's wishes and birth plan as the guide. We chose to have our baby at Providence in Hood River. Camille's connections in The Gorge community and her skills in navigating the local medical system were tremendously valuable. She was great at communicating with doctors in a caring way that achieved the outcomes that we wanted. She also gave us frameworks for decision making that continue to serve us in other areas of life.

In addition to her doula services, Camille is a talented birth photographer. She captured beautiful imagery, always at the perfect moment, in a way that only added to one of the most important moments of our lives. Camille was such a wonderful teammate during our birth journey and we're forever grateful! - H.K.

Camille is like the Mary Poppins of birth in the very best way possible, though her communication is far sweeter than the famed nanny. But, she does have the bottomless basket and the magic touch!

Camille is warm, unflappable, brave, intuitive and adept at non-violent but assertive communication. She will hold space for your desires while winning over the hospital staff and creating a chill and positive environment.

Being guided to assert my wishes, needs and desires during birth will serve me for years to come. I also used a breathing technique she taught me during my unmedicated induction. This is my third unmedicated birth; even if you are an experienced mama you can still learn new techniques and info from Camille and her colleagues…I’d also recommend without hesitation anyone Camille brings onto her team because she is so intentional about everything she does. The attention to detail really made me feel safe and comfortable. She is up on all the very latest information about pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Whatever your wishes for birth, she will do everything in her power to support them. If things go a different way, she will still sprinkle some magic into the atmosphere.

I will end with a quote from my husband about active labor: “you kept telling me to get away, you wanted Camille”!! - J.S.

I had a successful, complication-free home birth of my second child, with the assistance of my Doula, Camille. Camille went above and beyond my expectations. Any time I had a question or concern, she enthusiastically helped me get the info I sought. She lent me books, and gave me worksheets to help stimulate my own insights, vision and dream of how I wanted to birth my baby.

With her guidance, I developed my own knowledge, wisdom, insights and self-direction, while also benefiting from the nurturing, tender, feminine side of her care. I felt seen and heard as Camille listened deeply, and responded intuitively to things I couldn’t even pick up on all the way, reading between the lines - and that felt really good.

I was blown away by Camille’s generosity, her tenderness and her care. How safe, loved and supported I felt by her! She adapted herself to serve my unique desires and journey, and she supported me in all the ways I wanted. Her service to me was so pure and selfless, serving the higher good of my experience and baby. I am beyond grateful for Camille’s services. I highly recommend her services and companionship!” - G.T.
