Why hire a doula?

what is a doula?

Pregnant Woman Holding an Ultra Sound Picture of Unborn Child

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client throughout

pregnancy, during labor and birth,

in the postpartum period to help them

achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. The goal of a doula is to help

expecting parents understand their options

and know what to expect during pregnancy

, birth, and beyond! Doulas are a listening ear,

a wealth of information, and a rock-solid

support on the biggest day of your life.

what does a doula do?

Baby Day~ Water Birth; checking toes

During pregnancy, I'll help you understand your options, answer your questions, and help you plan for your birth and postpartum. We'll get together for meetings to talk about everything to do with labor and delivery and make sure that you're prepared and know what to expect. During labor, I'll be by your side from the early contractions until your baby is in your arms, guiding you, encouraging you, and helping you through whatever happens. Once baby arrives, I'm just a text message away for your questions and worries, and we'll get together in your home for help with recovery, feeding, baby care, and more!

what about my partner?

Mother and newborn. Child birth in maternity hospital. Young mom hugging her newborn baby after delivery. Woman giving birth.

Your doula's role isn't to replace your partner-

it's to enhance their invaluable support! Your doula will help your partner be your biggest support, guiding them through the uncertainty of birth, keeping them calm, and showing them how to give you exactly what you need at every stage of labor. Doula support is support for the entire family!
