Doula Services
From onset of contractions, through postpartum care, I will be by your side
What is a Birth Doula?
A birth doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to a birthing person before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Doulas are not medical professionals but play a crucial role in enhancing the birthing experience.
Benefits of Hiring a Birth Doula
Emotional Support: Doulas offer continuous emotional reassurance, helping to reduce anxiety and fear during labor.
Physical Comfort: They provide comfort measures such as massage, breathing techniques, and positioning to ease labor pains.
Advocacy: Doulas help communicate the birthing person’s wishes to the medical team, ensuring their preferences are respected.
Education: They provide evidence-based information about the birthing process, helping families make informed decisions.
Postpartum Support: Some doulas offer services after birth, assisting with breastfeeding and newborn care.
