Service PackagesWhen you’re preparing for birth, you should have peace of mind knowing that you’ll be heard, supported, and cared for along the way.
With a doula, you can feel more confident and empowered throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum because you have someone by your side to help you through it all. My goal as your doula is to help you love your experience, be confident in your choices, and never feel alone.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a doula, and what do they do?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a woman before, during, and after childbirth. Doulas do not provide medical care, but they offer comfort measures, advocacy, and guidance to help women and their families have a positive birth experience.
What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?
While both doulas and midwives provide support to pregnant individuals, their roles are different. Midwives are trained healthcare professionals who provide medical care, including prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care. Doulas, on the other hand, offer non-medical support, focusing on emotional and physical comfort, advocacy, and education.
Do doulas only support natural births, or can they assist with medical interventions like epidurals or cesarean sections?
Doulas support all types of births, whether they are natural, medicated, or involve medical interventions. Our goal is to support you in achieving the birth experience that aligns with your preferences and values. If medical interventions become necessary, we can help you understand your options, provide comfort, and advocate for your wishes.
WHy should I hire a doula for my birth?
Research has shown that having a doula present during labor can lead to shorter labor times, reduced need for medical interventions such as cesarean sections, and higher satisfaction with the birth experience. Doulas provide personalized support and advocacy, helping you feel empowered and informed throughout your journey to parenthood.
When should i hire a doula?
It’s never too early or too late to hire a doula, but many people choose to secure doula support early in their pregnancy to establish a relationship and benefit from guidance throughout the entire process. However, even if you’re further along in your pregnancy, it’s still worthwhile to reach out to a doula to see if they have availability and can support you.
How can a doula support partners or other family members during the birthing process?
Doulas not only provide support to the birthing individual but also offer guidance and reassurance to partners and other family members throughout labor and delivery. We can help partners understand what to expect during childbirth, provide suggestions for ways they can actively support the laboring person, and offer emotional support and encouragement to help them feel confident in their role as a birth companion. Additionally, doulas can step in to give partners breaks when needed, ensuring that everyone feels supported and cared for during this transformative experience.
