what is a
doula?
As a birth doula, I help support YOUR familY through the life changing experience of having a baby!
Doula
a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
Whether it’s a family’s first baby or their tenth, as I doula I can help make the birth and postpartum experience better. Today, a doula is defined as:
AS YOUR DOULA, i OFFER...
Physical Support
Position ideas for comfort and labor progression cross over with hands-on comfort measures like comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques and other “doula magic” for families. A doula’s skilled hands and positioning tools can often help a malpositioned baby find its way through the pelvis and into the birthing parent’s arms.
Emotional Support
Partner Support
as a Doula, I help families to feel supported, easing the emotional experience of birth and also helping to create a space where the hormones of labor can work at their best. Whether a birth is completely unmedicated or medically very complex, every family can benefit from nurturing and connection at this tender, incredible time in their lives.
Whether it’s a romantic partner, a friend or another family member like the baby’s grandmOTHER, the birth partner’s experience matters in birth. doulas are there to support every birth partner in being as involved as they’d like with the birth. Physical and emotional support make a huge difference for everyone involved.
Evidence-Based Information & Advocacy
DONA International doulas are trained to help families connect with evidence-based resources so they can ask great questions and make informed decisions about their births.
AS YOUR doula I serve as a bridge of communication between women and their providers, lifting them up to help them find their voices and advocate for the very best care.
