Why Hire a doula?

Hiring a doula for your birth can make a big impact on how your birth plays out and how you feel about it. Studies have shown doula support leads to a more satisfying birth experience with less interventions. A doula is at your birth specifically to care for your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We are taught unbiased evidence based information to help best serve our client’s wants. Unlike a doctor, nurse or midwife, Doulas provide care only for you and your birth team, staying by your side throughout all the phases of labor, from early labor to postpartum. Doulas are there to care for the partner’s needs and wellbeing, too. This can mean being able to take a rest, grab some food, text your friends and family for updates. We are an extra set of hands, a calming presence, and an empathic and knowledgeable guide. Someone will always be there to fully support you, asses your needs, to create pause and space during hectic times to help you think through your options, to help make decisions you feel good about. It’s about trusting the process and doing everything in our power to make this experience joyous and deeply empowering.
