What is a Doula?

A birth doula is a companion who provides families with continuous support during labor and birth.  As your doula I provide judgment free support. 

What it looks like...
​~Physical support includes the use of massage, pressure, and soothing touch. I will create a calm environment, assist in water therapy, and help keep you nourished.
​~Emotional support will leave you feeling a sense of pride and empowerment after the birth. Examples of emotional support are words of encouragement and praise, helping to see the situation more positively, keeping you company, showing that I care for you, and helping you debrief after the birth. 
​~ Informational support includes guiding you and your partner through labor and suggesting techniques like breathing, relaxation, movement, and changing positions. I will help you find evidence based information about your options, and help explain medical procedures.
​I will support you in your right to make decisions about your body and your baby. I will use advocacy techniques such as encourage you to ask questions and speak up for what you want. Research has shown that labor support from Doulas is both risk-free and highly effective.  Adding a Doula to a supportive partner reduced the rick of cesarean rates from 25% down to 13%. In the case of induction the cesarean rate is 59% with a partner alone, and 13% when partners and doulas worked together. Continuous labor support is one of the most important and basic needs for birthing people.
