Liz Haebe is a Birth and Postpartum doula and has been dipping her toe into the leadership aspect of the Portland Doula Community for a little while. She's the President of the Portland Doula Association, as well as the Doula Coordinator for the Gateway Doula Group and PDX Doulas. Liz is a graduate of the MotherTree Intensive Internship, having begun her internship two months before COVID became a reality. During this time she learned how to pivot and create new opportunities for herself within the community. Liz also works as a CAPPA-certified labor doula, serves on committees around town, loves her Portland Thorns, and probably spends too much money on acquiring new tattoos and spoiling her cat, Sondheim.
