Calm support for every step of your family’s journey

Kim Sabin Portland Oregon doula and childbirth educator

About Kim Sabin

I’m Kim Sabin—birth & postpartum doula, childbirth educator, certified sleep consultant, and the heart behind Birthing Days. I’m genuinely glad you’re here.

I’ve spent years walking with families through pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and early parenthood. I’ve learned that when people feel seen, heard, and understood, everything shifts—confidence grows, fear softens, and the days that once felt overwhelming become moments of connection and strength.

At its core, my work is about support that feels steady, compassionate, and judgment-free. I aim to help you feel informed and confident—not rushed or overwhelmed—so you can make choices that feel right for your family.

Whether we’re preparing for birth, navigating your early postpartum weeks, exploring infant sleep together, or bringing calm understanding to the many transitions of early parenthood, my work centers on you—your values, your goals, and your emotional wellbeing.

Why I do this work

Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative experiences in life. It’s powerful and beautiful, but it can also feel uncertain at times. I know firsthand how important it is to have someone who truly listens—without judgment, without pressure, and without fear-based language.

I believe every family deserves support that is:

  • Personalized — because no two journeys look the same

  • Evidence-based — so you have information you can trust

  • Compassionate — because emotional safety matters

It’s an honor to walk alongside families as they navigate these seasons with confidence and calm.

A Little About Me

Outside of Support Work

I’m an Oregon native who loves all four seasons—and the subtle beauty each one brings. I’ve been married to my best friend for 24 years, and together we’re raising three incredible children who inspire me every day.

When I’m not working with families, you’ll likely find me:

  • Lost in a good book

  • Enjoying a morning walks or workouts

  • Camping with family

  • Cheering on the Oregon Ducks or Notre Dame Irish

These simple joys ground me and remind me why supporting families through big life moments matters so much.

What You Can Expect With Birthing Days

At Birthing Days, support isn’t just a service—it’s a calm presence in a vulnerable season. For years, I’ve helped families feel prepared and understood through:

  • Personalized education and preparation for birth

  • Compassionate guidance through labor and delivery

  • Nurturing care in the postpartum period

  • Gentle, realistic support with infant sleep

You will be met with respect, clarity, and steadiness—not pressure or judgment. That’s the kind of support I wish I had in my own early parenthood days.
