What is a Doula?

 A Birth Doula is a trained woman who provides emotional, physical and educational support to a mother who is expecting, experiencing labor and during her delivery. 

A Doula is your labor support companion. I do not provide any medical care. However,  I am knowledgeable in many medical aspects of labor and delivery. I provide comfort with pain relief techniques including relaxation, massage and laboring positions. My job is to help you and your partner bond the time before your little one arrives. Lastly, I act as an advocate to the mother, encouraging any desires she may have surrounding the birth of her child.
 After the birth, I typically help with breast feeing and help keep baby and mom together.

Prenatal Visits

Either in - home or at a local coffee shop, I take the time you need discussing your expectations and to share information that might answer any questions you have. I also provide resources and referrals for more information. We will also discuss your birth plan and situations regarding pregnancy, labor, childbirth and postpartum.

During Your Birth

I am available and ready to arrive at your home, hospital or birth center whenever you desire. Once your active labor starts. I will remain with you, supporting you in any way that benefits you the entire length of your birthing process with different techniques, massage, different tools,  relaxation options and labor positions.

Adjusting to your new baby

During this special time, you'll rest, adjust to having your new baby and bond as a family. I will remain with you for 1-3 hours after birth to support you during placental delivery, any suturing, initial breast feeding and newborn procedures.
