Every woman deserves a doula!

Giving birth is an amazing journey. It is more than just a physical experience, it is an emotional transformation that occurs over the course of you pregnancy, culminating in the beautiful birth of you precious baby.

A doula can help you experience your baby's birth with empowerment, confidence and joy!

Before birth a doula provides informational support to the mother and partner:
  • Meetings to provide education and referrals on any topic you are interested in
  • Support creating a birth plan
  • Advice on communicating with care providers
  • A sympathetic ear for listening and a caring shoulder to cry on
During the birth the doula "mothers the mother," providing physical and emotional support to the mother (and partner!):
  • Creating an environment that is serene, peaceful and allows you to focus on your birth and baby. Lighting, candles, music, aromatherapy, a red rose to focus on- you want it? I do it!
  • Knowledge about the best and easiest positions for birth as well as massage and hydrotherapy
  • Flexiblity to change plans as circumstances change and confidence in knowing you have all the information you need to make the best decision for you and your baby!
  • Non-judgemental support of your birthing choices, whether you choose pain medications or a natural birth- it is up to YOU!
  • Partners become even more confident with the knowledge of a doula behind them!
  • Continuous support from the first moment you need it until your baby is in your arms- no matter how long or short your birth
