As your doula…
I get to know you and your intentions for labor as you develop your goals for birth.
I will address and discuss your concerns surrounding birth, bust myths, and encourage a positive attitude towards birth.
I will remind you of your birth wishes during labor and offer non-medical alternative for labor discomfort.
I give you all my knowledge and unbiased evidenced-based information about the advantages and disadvantages of various procedures and medications used during labor.
I work with your partner supporting them supporting you. We take turns supporting the mother so partner can eat, sleep, take a breather, use the bathroom, etc.
I will remain with you into the early postpartum period helping you adjust as a new family, process your experience, and assist with basic breastfeeding support.
I provide emotional support and community resources as needed.
