A birth doula provides emotional, spiritual, and physical support to the laboring mother as well as education and information leading up to and throughout your labor.

Our doulas are well-versed in the birth process and are able to offer the laboring mother non-medical techniques to manage contractions and make her labor as enjoyable as possible.

The benefits of having a labor doula are numerous. Here are just a few examples:

• Decreased length of labor

• Decreased c-section rates 

• Decreased maternal anxiety

• Decreased negative child-birth experiences 

• Increased breastfeeding rates and success 

• Increased mother-baby bonding after birth 

• Increased maternal satisfaction with their birth process

Home birth comes with its own unique circumstances and is a very different environment than the hospital. When hiring a labor doula it is crucial that your doula is very familiar with the environment in which you will be giving birth. 

Rest assured that if for any reason you transfer to the hospital during your birthing process, our home birth doulas will go with you and continue to support you on your journey to meet your baby.
