A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous support to a birthing person before, during and after childbirth.  Unlike a medical professional, a doula focuses on emotional and physical comfort helping to have a positive birth experience.  I help everyone involved (including partners and family members) support the birthing person in the way they want to be supported. ​​

 

 

Research shows that having a doula at your birth decreases your chance of a c-section, decreases your need for interventions like pitocin, or pain medications and increases your satisfaction with your birth.  Doulas can help you find your power and trust your own body.
