Pregnancy & Birth

Doula Services

A birth doula is a professional trained in pregnancy and childbirth who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a person who is expecting or experiencing labor.  The doula’s purpose is to help soon-to-be parents have a safe, memorable, and empowering childbirth experience.

A doula often has many roles to fill during each client’s childbearing journey.  She is a source of education and evidence-based information for the birthing person, while also encouraging and helping them fulfill specific desires they might have for their birth.

*Additional services can be added at any time during your contract.
