What Is A Doula?

A doula is a professional birth coach who provides emotional, informational, physical, and mental support to women during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum periods.

​

Doulas give emotional, informational, and even physical support to women, but they can also help the entire family with adjusting to their new lives with baby.

Why do I need a Doula?

The presence of a doula results in shorter labor and better delivery outcomes. Doulas offer pain-relief techniques including massage, acupressure, and aromatherapy. 

​

Doulas can help you labor longer at home in comfort if you plan to birth in a hospital. 

​

A doula can reassure you and your partner that things are progressing and proceeding normally in each stage of labor. 

As your Doula?

I know that you are the expert on you. I trust that you will make the best informed decisions for you and your baby given the proper resources.

​

I will support you in your moments of vulnerability and in your moments of strength. I will listen with compassion and serve you wholly with my hands and my heart. 

​

I recognize that you have the power of choice and I will honor that power whether or not they are choices I would make for myself.
