Birth Doula Services

Walking with you for your confident birth and beginnings!

I'm sure you have certain ideals about what you would like out of your birth--and that is not a bad thing!  But you may feel afraid of birth, overwhelmed by decisions, or even threatened by care providers who may not support your wishes.  I'm here, as your doula, to help you feel more confident about your ability to birth, decide and plan for the options that are best for you, and help you frame even any unexpected circumstances as positively as possible.

So what does a doula actually do?

As your doula, I'm your personal companion, coach, and listening ear throughout and after pregnancy and birth!  A wealth of info and resources, I'll answer your questions and help you plan for and achieve your most positive birth.

 

Some of what this includes:

 

  • Prenatal visits
  • Support during pregnancy and postpartum via call and text
  • Lots of handy worksheets/resource sheets
  • Accompaniment to an appointment with your care provider to get on the same page
  • Postpartum visit

 

Focusing solely on your non-medical physical and emotional comfort, I will be by your side throughout labor.  I also protect your partner's role (to the level that they wish to be involved) and help them know how to help you!

Your birth should be something YOU are doing, not something that feels like it's being done TO you.

Some moms decide to go it alone, but doing so can can leave you in the very real danger of:

 

  • Wondering what advice from peers, family, and caregivers is accurate or best for you.
  • Regretting decisions that put you or your baby at unnecessary risk.
  • Struggling with unnecessary physical and/or emotional complications during and even years after birth.
  • Feeling like a victim of labor or other people.

 

Thankfully, that doesn't have to be your story!  Choosing to invest in a doula is an investment in your best "new baby story," with better chances of:

 

  • Being equipped with evidence-based information to make care decisions.
  • Feeling empowered and confident that you did your best for yourself and your baby.
  • Avoiding pain medications, induction,  unnecessary interventions, and a Cesarean, if desired.
  • A slower labor and less complications.
  • A positive self-concept and relationship with your baby.
  • Feeling satisfied with your birth experience.

No more feeling alone, confused, threatened, or overwhelmed.  Get ready to take ownership of your birth and be a more prepared, confident parent!
