Meet Deanna Hunt - your Bridgetown Baby Postpartum Doula in Bend!

Deanna has cared for families across the identity and alternative-family spectrum, throughout the U.S. and abroad—in Argentina, Uruguay, the Canary Islands, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Canada—reinforcing her belief that every family deserves individualized, compassionate support.

Now based in Bend, OR, Deanna brings a calm, collaborative presence and practical postpartum care tailored to your family's needs: newborn care, feeding support, sibling transitions, nursery organization, household rhythms, or simply space to rest and recover. She has a special love for nourishing, allergy-friendly meals and organized, functional spaces—drawing on a background in event planning to keep things running smoothly so you can focus on bonding with your baby.

Grounded in open communication and curiosity, Deanna works alongside parents as a true team, hoping to help your family slow down and soak in the fleeting moments of early parenthood.

Off duty, you’ll find her hiking, doing yoga, sipping a chai latte, or exploring Central Oregon with her five-year-old American Bully mix.
