The way you choose to birth matters.
The way you are treated in your birth matters.
The way you feel about your birth matters.

Doula care benefits any mother and baby...
​
Pregnancy and birth is simultaneously one of the most powerful and vulnerable times in a woman's life. Whether you are becoming a first time parent or have experienced birth before, any birthing person is capable of receiving the enormous benefits of working with a doula as part of your birth support team.
A doula's purpose...
​
A doula is a professional trained in childbirth who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a person who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula’s purpose is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience.
A doula can never replace your partner or care provider...​
But a doula can fill in all the other gaps and serve as a bridge with a combination of knowledge and experience with pregnancy and the birth process and a kind and compassionate presence with the ability to hold space and support both you and your partner through your journey to parenthood.
