As your doula, I:

Help you create a birth plan

Make your birth environment comfortable and peaceful

Answer questions you have before, during and after your birth

Suggest ways that your partner can help you best

Know more positions than the kama sutra (for birth of course!)

The word doula comes from the Greek word for "a woman who serves".

A doula focuses 100% of her time and support on you, the laboring mother. Whereas nurses have other patients they are responsible for, a doula is only concerned with her individual client. *A doula does NOT speak for a couple, or provide any medical or clinical skills.

A doula is a continual emotional and physical support person for the laboring mother.

I am like a stack of birthing books by your side that you don't need to page through. Just ask me!

arrive at your home or hospital when you want me to.	stay by your side until after your baby is born
attend solely to your emotional and physical needs during birth	provide light massage, position suggestions and breathing techniques
assist you with positive energy through one of your most transformative life experiences!

The doula seeks to assist the laboring mother and her partner in preserving a memory of birth that is peaceful, and one that is remembered forever with joy.
