Doula Support
A doula is trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
My intention is to support you through a calm, confident birth!
What are some of the benefits of using a doula? * You are less likely to request pain medications or an epidural * You are less likely to have a cesarean birth * More likely to have a shorter labor * More likely to rate your birth experience positively
What does a doula do? Your doula works for YOU as part of your birth team. This includes physical, emotional and informational support through in-person meetings, resources and connecting to other birth professionals.
What doesn't a doula do? It's important to understand we are not medical professionals. We do not give medical advice or diagnose conditions. Nor do we perform medical tasks or deliver your baby. (That's a midwife!)
