Be Informed & Prepared
Think of your doula as your childbirth encyclopedia. Avoid endless hours googling, your doula will guide you to reliable, evidence-based sources.
During our prenatal visits together we cover the ins and outs of childbirth to prepare you for a positive birth experience. Skills and techniques we teach include, but are not limited to, spinning babies, acupressure, counter-pressure, massage, labor & birthing positioning for comfort and guiding baby into optimal position, diaphragmatic breathing, mindfulness meditation, and visualizations. These approaches are useful in both unmedicated AND medicated labors and births. Your birth partner, if you choose to have one, will have the opportunity to learn and practice various ways of supporting.
You will also be prepared to confidently tackle the postpartum period. Our time together during the final prenatal visit focuses heavily on preparing for parenthood.
Feel Empowered & Supported
You are in charge of your birth. Your doula is there to help facilitate positive and thorough communication with your team. The physical and emotional needs of you and your partner/team will be actively catered to your entire pregnancy and birth. Our energy is focused on ensuring you are comfortable and confident.
Experience Unbiased, Intuitive Care
Every pregnancy and birth is different and deserves individualized care. We understand that your needs and wishes may change throughout this journey. Your doula will be present to support your emotional and educational needs, no matter the situation.
