What is a doula?
A doula is a guide during pregnancy that provides preparation for your unique childbirth experience, hands-on support throughout labor and birth, and encouragement for a safer more satisfying birth.
Why choose a group?
By working together, our doula group can provide Peace of Mind, Availability and Continuity of Care. No matter what time of day or night you need help, we have someone who is ready to support you.
Our Philosophy
We believe in empowering the family to have a positive experience. Regardless of the make-up of your family or the choices you make, our doulas will provide useful information and unbiased care.
Services
-
Labor Support
A birth doula’s role is to help you feel nurtured, safe, informed and supported while you navigate the birth experience. Birth doulas are with you before, during and immediately after labor to help support the birth you anticipate, whether it is a natural or medicated childbirth, hospital or home birth, VBAC or cesarean section.
-
Postpartum Support
Postpartum doulas “mother the mother” and support both parents so they can more fully embrace their new roles. Our focus is usually on taking care of everything else so that mom can take care of baby, however the doula may also do some baby care while mom is bathing, napping, or caring for other children.
