Our Mission
To make perinatal support accessible, trustworthy, and compassionate by curating credible providers, cultivating community and providing educational resources, so people of every gender and family — whether deciding whether to have children, navigating fertility or loss, growing through pregnancy and birth, or raising little ones from birth through age eight — can move through this season with confidence and peace of mind.
Our Vision
A community where everyone — every gender, every family, every situation — can easily find the care, understanding, and hope they deserve on the journey from deciding to grow a family through early childhood. A place where you are held up the way you hold up everyone else. No confusion, no gatekeeping, just genuine support grounded in empathy and evidence.

About the Founder
Perinatal Providers of Central Oregon began from a deeply personal place. As a mental health professional, I found myself struggling to find reliable, supportive resources during my own perinatal experience.
I felt disconnected and overwhelmed.
By the time I finally reached out, it was too much effort to find a good fit to make the time commitment feel worth it. I created this space so that hopefully, you have a different experience than I did. Here, every provider and resource is carefully selected so that you don't have to carry it all alone. You support everyone else — this is your community to feel seen, supported, and held up as you navigate the changes and challenges of this season of life.
