Birth Doula

 A birth doula is a professional birth companion who serves parents as a birth mentor and source of support. A birth doula provides the education, support and tools you need to navigate your birth. We make ourselves available to the birthing person by phone/text to address any concerns that might arise during the course of the pregnancy. Understand we do not provide any type of medical care. However, we are knowledgeable about many medical aspects of labor and delivery. As such, we can help our clients gain a better understanding of the procedures and possible complications in late pregnancy or delivery.

During delivery, doulas are in constant and close proximity to the mother. They have the ability to provide comfort with pain-relief techniques including breathing techniques, relaxation techniques, massage, and laboring positions. We also encourage participation from the partner and offer reassurance.

A doula helps a birth person advocate for the themselves, encouraging and helping them fulfill specific desires they might have for their birth. The goal of a doula is to help the birthing person experience a positive and safe birth, whether an unmedicated, medicated, hospital or homebirth.
