The services a doula provides acknowledge, coexists with, and enhances the valuable roles of all your birth team members. I am neither a medical team member with obligations to other patients dividing my focus and time, nor a family member caught up in joy and exhilaration for the arrival of their newest love; instead I am a trained professional devoted to supporting your overall wellbeing.
Unsure of what birth options are available or have countless questions swirling in your mind? I'll provide you evidence based information to help you make the best and most informed decision for your family.
Are you or your partner feeling uncertain or even overwhelmed? I'll be a reassuring guide before and throughout labor, providing emotional balance, and reflecting your own God given strength back to you.
Wondering what comfort techniques and labor positions can help you cope and successfully deliver baby? I'll provide you and your partner hands on training in different breathing techniques, massage, labor positions, etc. During labor I provide the same physical support I trained you in, or I simply stand back and offer suggestions if your partnership is coping successfully.
