WHY CHOOSE A DOULA?

We are in a time when we don’t necessarily live near family and the term “it takes a village” is a very real truth in raising a child.  Working with a doula is the first step to creating your community and uncovering resources. A birth doula nurtures, encourages and grounds. A postpartum doula educates the family, allows for space and time for the parents to rest, and makes the transition easier.

WHAT IS A DOULA?

A Doula provide emotional, physical, and informational support to both new and experienced parents.

WHAT DO DOULAS DO?

Doulas nurture and support you during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. They provide continuous support through labor and birth. They bring a non-medical approach that focuses on providing emotional and physical support, sharing information, and helping prepare you and your support system prior to birth. They typically have stronger labor support and relational skills than most medical staff or health care workers.
