What is a doula?

We are birthing coaches and an extra pair of hands. We provide evidence based educational support leading up to labor day, and physical and emotional support during labor and into the first few weeks of your baby’s life. When you think you cannot do it anymore, we can talk you through it. Having back labor? We have lots of amazing ideas to help ease intense sensations. We are the only professionals who are with you for the entire labor. In a hospital birth, a doula can interpret the medical jargon and make sure you are aware of all your options. We remind you that what you are doing is normal and healthy. We help keep you nourished and strong for the work that lies ahead.
