Doulas are trained to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to women during labor, birth, and in the immediate postpartum period. With the support of doulas, many women are able to forego epidurals, avoid cesarean births, and have less stressful births. A skilled doula empowers a woman to communicate her needs and perceptions and actualize her dream of a healthy, positive birth experience.
After your baby is born, I'm still here for support. Whether it's help with breastfeeding or reassurance on your new journey as a mom, I'm there to hopefully make your 4th trimester a bit easier.
Call me when you think you're in labor and I'll be there. I provide labor and birth support for hospital or home births beginning at active labor and ending an hour after delivery.
Reach out with questions or concerns during your pregnancy. I'm available for support for up to two pre-natal appointments, as well as text and email support.
