Meet Your Doula
Hi, I’m Rochelle (though most people call me Shelly), the heart behind Birth & Beyond Maternal Support. As a dedicated birth and postpartum doula, I have proudly called the Rogue Valley home my entire life. When I’m not serving my community, you can find me fishing, camping, or traveling the outdoors. I like to think that I have a great sense of humor. I also have a Type A personality (I thrive on lists and plans) but let's be honest. Birth can go whichever direction it wants...That said, having a good plan in place (as well as a contingency plan) is the perfect starting point for any journey—especially one as unique and unpredictable as birth. A fellow doula once described me as "a fun combination between boldness and nurturing." It’s a description I love, and it’s exactly what I strive to bring to my work. My mission is to provide peace, presence, and unwavering support to the community I love.
My philosophy is simple: knowledge is power. I'm a firm believer that an informed parent is a confident parent, and it truly makes my heart sing to work closely with individuals and families, honoring their unique needs and preferences in a judgment-free space. As a doula, I’m not just offering a service—I’m offering peace, presence, and hands-on support during one of the most sacred and vulnerable times in your life. I’m here to guide you every step of the way, helping you feel informed and empowered throughout your journey.
I also collaborate with a trusted network of birth professionals—including midwives, OBs, and IBCLCs—fostering a community that empowers new parents and ensures you’re never alone. Together, we can navigate this journey with confidence and care.
I’d love to meet you and offer a free consultation, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Let’s connect!
P.S.
This is a no-judgment zone, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with your questions — even the ones you think might be silly (I promise, they’re not!). I’d love to meet you and offer a free consultation — don’t be shy, let’s connect.

" Rochelle was an amazing Postpartum Doula, she provided support to help us get back on our feet and feeling comfortable in our home again after having a baby. When we ran out of our formula, a brand you could only get online, she was able to find a can for us which was a literal life saver because our baby’s stomach was so sensitive on other formula. From helping around the house, providing knowledge around being new parents and resources around the community, spending time with our baby and just being a familiar face to have conversation with, we are very thankful for the services and time Rochelle provided.

" I’m so grateful for the support I received from Rochelle during my first 6 weeks postpartum. My breast feeding journey was extremely time consuming and doing anything around the house became impossible. Rochelle helped with house hold tasks like dishes and laundry but the biggest help was her doing meal prep. Having meals and snacks that were ready to go was a life saver. All of her help gave me the time I needed to focus on upping my supply and bonding with my baby. "

" 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I had the privilege of working with Rochelle as my doula during labor, delivery, and post-partum. I am eager to express my gratitude for her exceptional support. Rochelle is an exceptionally kind and compassionate individual. Her calming presence, positive reassurance, and expert coaching significantly enhanced my labor and delivery experience. We were fortunate to have her as part of my birthing journey, which substantially contributed to my positive hospital experience. ''
