About Supported Start

My name is Katie Briggs, and I am a mother of two, Physical Therapist, Certified Doula, Certified Infant Massage Instructor, and the founder of Supported Start.  My background includes a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master's degree in physical therapy.  After practicing physical therapy for six years, I found my niche working with young children, babies, and families.  I am now truly following my passion:  Helping families get off to a good start. 

For three years, Supported Start offered Labor Doula Services.  Currently, I am taking a break from attending births, but am working with women and families to help prepare for this momentous occasion.  I am also pleased to still be offering infant massage instruction.

Supported Start is located in Beaverton, Oregon, just west of Portland, and serves families in Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, and the surrounding areas.
