Birth

 

Doulas accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. We draw on knowledge and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort and the information you need to make informed decisions as questions and concerns arise in labor. We will provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for comfort. We are with you to make sure your labor is beautiful and joyful.

 

Post Partum

 

As postpartum doulas, we focus on the needs of the new mother as well as the

newborn. We are there to nurture the mother by offering practical assistance as

well as emotional support, enabling her to recover faster and feel more

confident in meeting the challenges a new baby brings.

We act as a mentor to answer your questions and provide much

needed assurance in a gentle, non-judgmental way, allowing you to develop

your own unique parenting style.

The ways in which the woman, baby, partner and siblings make the transition to

a new family unit have a long-term impact on their physical and emotional

health. The postpartum doula fills a large gap in maternity care, and is able to

facilitate a smooth and rewarding transition.
