What is a doula?
- A non-medical member of your birth team (NOT one of your limited # of visitors).
- Hired to learn about you and what you want for this birth.
- Provider of informational, emotional, and physical support in pregnancy, birth & postpartum.
- An advocate who helps you find YOUR voice and trains you to USE it to reach your goals.
- I help UNITE your whole birth team (birth partners & medical providers). I equip you to use collaborative care for client-centered decisions.
- The presence of a trained doula at your birth reduces unfavorable inductions, epidural over-use, unnecessary cesareans and raises overall positive experience of birth! Read about it HERE.
