dou·la - ancient Greek word for female servant

A doula provides education, physical support, and emotional support to individuals and families through pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

Doulas support I offer:

• Fertility and preconception support

• Birth & Postpartum

• Bed rest support

• Sibling care

How is doula support different from a friend/relative, partner or other provider?

• With the exception of postpartum and bed rest support, birth doula and sibling care means I work on-call. I leave my home, my family and current plans when you call me. Because of the nature of working on-call I take a limited amount of clients per month.

• I have training and experience in the world of fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I know what it feels like to be a new mom and am intuitive to those needs.

• I don’t work for or under any care provider such as a doctor or midwife which gives me an unbiased perspective.

Doula support is customized to you and your families unique goals and desires. Here are a few examples of what birth/labor support and postpartum support may look like.
