Portland doulas dedicated to
your family’s wellbeing

Meet the Founder, Camilla Rae

I founded Full Circle Baby because I know, deep in my bones, that babies are our future. Across cultures & throughout history, the way we care for newborns (and their parents) reflects the strength, health, & resilience of society itself. My work as a full spectrum doula is rooted in this belief: when we nurture families, we create a foundation for generations to thrive.

A young Camilla smiles, holding a baby. In a teacher's handwriting: "something special about me... 'I am good at taking care of babies.'"

Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of supporting over 1,800 families, from preconception through pregnancy, birth, and into the transformative first year of postpartum. Both my professional training and personal parenting journey have shown me just how vital postpartum support truly is. I know what it feels like to be deep in birth recovery, questioning everything, and searching for systems that actually work.

Camilla smiles confidently into the camera.

Ultimately, our doula promise is to honor every individual experience, offering compassionate, expert care with an open heart. Because when parents feel nurtured, informed, and confident, they pass that sense of security and love onto their children. 

Warmly,

Camilla Rae

Full Circle Baby was created to provide the trusted support, guidance,
and reassurance families need during this life-changing time.

    Available for Daytime & Overnights

    For Sydney, working with children and families has always been a passion. After experiencing the joys and challenges of entering parenthood herself, she felt a strong calling to provide the compassionate support and care that all parents deserve. Her goal as your doula is to foster mental wellness for the whole family and nurture a strong attachment between you and your baby while supporting your unique needs.

Our Postpartum Philosophy

Bringing a baby into the world has always been a shared experience. Across generations, cultures, and traditions, new parents have been surrounded by care — by hands that rock, voices that soothe, and hearts that hold space. 

At Full Circle Baby, we continue this tradition of tending, nourishing, and strengthening families, offering compassionate, expert support so you can feel grounded, confident, and deeply cared for.

  • "Thank you for being such an amazing woman, Camilla. You have such a loving, supporting spirit. This birthing experience wouldn’t have been the same without her."

    Kathleen, N Portland

  • "We had done a lot of our own research on sleep training, so we were on the fence about hiring sleep consultants for our almost 4 month old, but we're so glad we did! Not only did Camilla & Atika take the time to get to know our baby and tailor our training plan to her personality, but they were always there to answer questions via text or phone call. That level of support was so helpful - even if you know what to do, there are plenty of curveballs and emotional ups and downs, and having two knowledgeable people to turn to made a world of difference for us."

    Natalie & Ryan, Camas, Washington

  • "Wow. We spoke with Camilla during our search for postpartum doula support, and she was a WEALTH of information and kindness. She happened to be unavailable to assist our family postpartum but still took a great deal of time to communicate with and guide us along our search. She is a delight to engage with, incredibly present and reassuring, and a trusted expert in her field."

    Jessica & Baker, NE Portland

  • "Thank you, Camilla! You have such beautiful and kind energy. I really appreciate you and appreciate the recommendations! I already booked!"

    Annalise & Jason, New York, New York

  • "Camilla, you are such a blessing to everyone you meet and especially to these tiny humans who are blessed to be in your loving care. And for the big humans -- we're lucky to bear witness to your care. I can never ever thank you enough for being you.

    Aly, SW Portland

  • "I have found motherhood to be one of the loneliest experiences. And Camilla is a light on the darkest of days. We all are truly fortunate to be warmed by her. Throughout our time together, she has inspired me to be ME unapologetically. If you need a doula who will become a lifelong and invested friend, Camilla is the doula for you.

    Sara & Noah, Los Angeles, California

  • "If you are struggling with sleep issues with your baby look no further! Camilla is an infant sleep expert. She gave us great advice and guidance to help us teach our 6mo old to sleep independently in his own crib through the night. We can’t recommend her enough! Worth every penny!"
