"A doula recognizes that women have the power to birth and assists the mother in accessing her own “Mother Nature.” A doula also provides emotional support, physical comfort measures, an objective viewpoint and assistance in getting the information she needs to make empowered decisions throughout her pregnancy, birth and postpartum."

Birth Doula Support

services include:

the above Prenatal services PLUS on-call support and presence at the birth (including home, center, and hospital births).

A doula is a health care professional who understands the natural process of birth, helping the parents to understand this process, and works with them during pregnancy, birth and postpartum to create the most positive, healthy and natural experience possible for the family.

Women who have used a doula are more satisfied with their birth experience, feel more confident in their ability to mother, bond faster with their newborn, are less likely to have post-partum depression, and are more likely to breastfeed.
