What is a Doula?

    An experienced birth worker who provides advice, information, emotional support and comfort before, during, and after childbirth.

Benefits of a Doula

    Numerous studies have documented the benefits of having a Doula present during labor. Some studies show that by having a Doula as a member of the birth team decreases the overall cesarean rate by 50%, the length of labor by 25%, the use of oxytocin by 40%, and the request for an epidural by 60%!!!

    Remember my role as your Doula is never to take the place of Dad or partners in labor but rather to enhance your experience. I am able to do this no matter what kind of birth you have planned. I'm here to support you, not make choices for you.
