ABOUT
Yamhill Valley Community Doulas is designed to provide accessible, culturally-matched birth support to families and communities that do not have, or cannot otherwise access doula services. This model of care is sustained by recruiting, training & mentoring doulas from diverse cultural, linguistic and socio-economic backgrounds. By offering authentic, culturally aware services, YVCD fills a gap for birthing families in Yamhill Valley. Thereby, supporting overall wellness and dignity, which creates stronger and healthier families and communities.
​
YVCD is in it's infancy stage, being nurtured to life by co-founders, Alyson & Eva. As avid community members in McMinnville with a passion for supporting healthy births and postpartum periods, they are delighted to be bringing a shared vision to life through YVCD.
