Service introduction
I offer birth, postpartum, and abortion support for all bodies and families in the Portland area. I believe everyone should have access to compassionate and inclusive reproductive care. I offer a sliding scale model and can also accept OHP. I am particularly passionate about working with other neurodivergent folks and I have experience implementing and advocating for accommodations for sensory needs, anxiety, and trauma, especially in a hospital setting. I also love working with queer families, single parents, and poly family structures. As your doula, I will care for you, your family, and your support team as a whole, no matter what it looks like. My job is never to replace your partner(s), but to help you become a strong, educated, and empowered team in the birth space.

Ratings and reviews
If you’re reading this, you’re likely researching doulas for prenatal, labor, and postpartum support. You should absolutely consider Georgia Bonds-Abele. I can’t recommend her highly enough. As first-time parents, my husband and I knew we wanted support navigating the unknowns of pregnancy, labor, and birth. We met Georgia during my second trimester, and selected to work with her. What stood out most was her depth of knowledge and practical guidance provided in preparing for an unmedicated birth. I had hoped for an unmedicated hospital birth, and with her support I was able to achieve it! Even when we faced an unexpected gestational diabetes diagnosis and the decision to schedule an induction, Georgia helped us feel informed, validated and confident in our decisions. During our prenatal visits (plus many texts, calls, and shared Notes app lists), she was generous with her time and incredibly thorough. She also helped my husband feel prepared and confident in his role as a birth partner, helping him prepare to support me physically and emotionally during labor. From weeks 37–40 (and beyond if needed), Georgia was on call and fully available. When the time came, she joined us at the hospital for my induction and was a constant source of support through labor: with hands-on comfort techniques and tools, guidance, and strong advocacy. She has a calm and gentle presence, but she is also a powerful advocate and was truly impressive when communicating with both healthcare providers and family members during critical moments. From shaping my birth preferences to postpartum support (including holding my baby so I could take care of a few things around the house), Georgia was exceptional through every stage. I would absolutely work with her again for future births and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and empowering doula.
