WE’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT EQUIPPING AND EMPOWERING BIRTHING COUPLES OF CENTRAL OREGON
At Deep Roots Birth Collective, we believe that birth is more than a moment—it is a journey that shapes the core of who we are as individuals and as a family. Our mission is to reclaim the care that birthing couples deserve, creating a movement where respect, education, and empowerment are the cornerstones of every birth experience.
— Courtney + Stacey
MEET COURTNEY
Deep Roots Birth Collective Co-Founder + Birth Doula
— a former hairstylist turned birth doula, essential oil expert, and mom of six boys (yes, six!). After trading in her scissors for swaddle blankets, Courtney dove headfirst into the world of health and wellness. She discovered her natural talent and passion for teaching all things birth, wellness, and of course, thrifting. When she’s not driving around her lively crew, you’ll find her sipping coffee, empowering others to live their healthiest, most vibrant lives, or squeezing in some writing about the beautiful chaos of her day-to-day adventures. She brings humor, heart, and a whole lot of real-life experience to the table.
MEET STACEY
Deep Roots Birth Collective Co-Founder + Birth doula
—a former corporate climber who swapped boardrooms for birth rooms, turning a passion for people into a full-time obsession. A mom of three with a love for all things birth, she’s a doula, trained in massage therapy and foot zoning and brings the aloha spirit of her Hawaiian roots to every family she serves. Trained in Lomilomi massage therapy and foot zoning, she’s here to soothe both body and mind.
When she’s not guiding parents through the ups and downs of pregnancy, you can find her on the pickleball court, or likely on an adventure with her kid crew. With a love for service, a dash of sarcasm, and a knack for keeping it real, Stacey will help you feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way.
MEET MELISSA
Deep Roots Birth Collective—Advanced Postpartum Doula,
Deep Roots Nonprofit Board Member
With a heart wired for service and a deep passion for walking alongside families in their earliest, most tender moments, Melissa brings a grounded, nurturing presence wherever she goes. Melissa graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Child Development and Psychology and began her doula career in 2019 supporting families with multiples. An Enneagram 6 and ESFJ (yes, she lives for personality tests), Melissa has a unique gift for making people feel truly seen, heard, and cared for—whether she’s supporting new parents or swapping stories over coffee.
When she’s not immersed in the world of doula work, you’ll likely find her in the middle of a kitchen dance party with her two little ones, crushing a sweat session at Burn Bootcamp, or soaking up the beauty of Bend’s wild trails and outdoor magic.
As a postpartum doula, Melissa is on a mission: to make sure no new parent walks the early days alone. Her care blends practical newborn education with soulful, hands-on support for the whole family—creating space for rest, confidence, and connection when it matters most.
MEET KINSEY
Deep Roots Birth Collective— Holistic Doula Apprentice
Raised as one of 11 children, Kinsey is no stranger to both chaos and fun. She deeply values thriving relationships and has a heart to see every family flourish in their own unique way. In the birth space, she brings a steady calmness and intentional presence, always prioritizing not just the needs of the mother but the well-being of the entire family unit.
Beyond birth work, Kinsey delights in creating beauty wherever she goes—whether it’s scrapbooking cherished memories, sharing her gift of music on the harp, or exploring the wonders of God’s creation. A lifelong lover of sports, she especially treasures skiing, a passion she’s shared with her family since childhood, along with the camaraderie of team sports that draw them closer together.
Her love for people and her zest for life bring light to every space she enters. Kinsey’s mission is to walk alongside families with compassion and encouragement, helping them welcome new life with confidence and grace, stewarding the birthing journey as an experience of beauty and strength.
With Deep Roots Birth Collective, care is not a luxury—it is an expectation. We stand by every family we work with, ensuring that they enter their birth journey feeling empowered, informed, and connected every step of the way.
We are not just here to serve; we are here to transform how couples approach childbirth. By offering in-depth education and practical techniques, we equip parents with the tools to feel genuinely prepared, supported, and deeply connected to the birth process. Our approach prioritizes the needs of both partners, fostering a sense of unity and confidence as they navigate one of life’s most profound experiences.
