Our Story

Compassionate care and meaningful storytelling for mothers and growing families.

Chandra Redinger is a compassionate, professional Certified Birth Doula and accomplished photographer serving families throughout Southwest Washington, Clark County, and the beautiful Pacific Northwest. As a wife and mother, she understands the sacredness, vulnerability, and transformative beauty of bringing new life into the world.

With a calm and nurturing presence, Chandra provides heartfelt support, knowledgeable guidance, and compassionate care to mothers and families throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum recovery, and times of loss. Her approach is deeply personal, gentle, and rooted in the belief that every mother deserves to feel safe, supported, informed, and truly cared for throughout her journey.

Her path into birth work was shaped not only by her love for mothers and babies, but also through profound personal loss. Fifteen years ago, Chandra experienced the heartbreaking loss of her infant daughter, Sophia. Through grief, she discovered a deeper calling to walk alongside women with empathy, grace, and unwavering support, especially those navigating difficult pregnancies, infant loss, or emotionally complex birth experiences.

Through both her doula work and photography, Chandra is passionate about preserving and honoring the beauty of each unique birth story. Her artistic eye and compassionate heart allow her to capture authentic moments of connection, strength, tenderness, and love with intention and care.

At Dolce Vita Doulas, motherhood is approached with warmth, dignity, and compassion. Chandra’s mission is to provide peaceful, life-affirming support while creating a space where families feel seen, heard, empowered, and deeply supported during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

“Every birth story deserves to be honored with grace, love, and gentle support.”
