What is a Birth Doula
As a doula, my role is to be a professional labor assistant who provides physical and emotional support to you and your partner during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, regardless of the outcome. For instance, I could offer attention to physical comfort through techniques such as touch and massage and assistance with breathing and positioning for comfort during contractions. I will also work closely with your partner to help teach them support techniques.
Why Hire a Doula?
Women have reported, and studies have shown a higher rate of having a positive birth experience when a doula is present.
Sometimes birth doesn’t go as planned. You can be left feeling unprepared, disappointed, and alone. As a Doula I will provide you with emotional, informational, and physical support.
As a Doula, I am a wealth of knowledge and during birth can provide comfort with pain-relieving techniques and help fulfill specific needs by helping you advocate for those desires.
I will also help your partner to learn how to help you through labor and delivery. I like to make sure the whole support team in involved.
