Meet Maleea

Growing up in Bend, Oregon, Maleea cultivated a profound connection to nature and the outdoors, experiences that would later shape her approach to family care.

It wasn’t until the birth of her first son that she discovered her passion for integrated doula work and the vital support it provides to families during significant life transitions.

In 2017, Maleea took the next step by training as a doula, eager to empower and nurture families through their unique journeys. However, as she welcomed her two young boys, she recognized the importance of stepping back to focus on her family.

During this period, Maleea didn’t stray from her passion; instead, she deepened her skills as an herbalist, becoming well-versed in the natural remedies that can support health and wellness during and after childbirth. Additionally, she became a certified babywearing educator, learning the art of carrying infants in a way that fosters closeness and comfort. Her interest in biodynamic gardening further connected her to the rhythms of nature and the principles of sustainable living, allowing her to cultivate a holistic approach to nurturing families.

Now that her boys are older, Maleea has returned to her doula work with renewed wisdom and passion. She retrained in birth and postpartum with MotherTree Birth in Portland, OR to become DONA certified and an OHA Traditional Health worker, allowing her to accept Medicaid/OHP insurance (starting April 2025).

She is dedicated to ensuring that families embark on their journeys feeling supported, empowered, and deeply nurtured. With her extensive background in herbalism, babywearing, and holistic practices, Maleea offers a rich tapestry of resources for families, helping them navigate the beautiful complexity of parenthood with confidence and grace.
