~Welcome!~

The birth of a child is a moment that will forever be imprinted in your being. Honoring that transition and entering into labor with an open heart and mind, while trusting in your body, will forever change you!

~What is a Doula?~

Doula, is a Greek word meaning, "woman caregiver". In current times this term is now used to describe a trained labor companion. DONA International is the largest organization that certifies and provides training and accountability for Doulas.

~Benefits Of Having A Doula At Your Birth~

Studies show that women who have a doula present at their birth are less likely to have cesarean sections, have fewer epidurals, and have shorter labors with fewer complications, Babies often have higher Apgar scores and are shown to breastfeed more easily!

~What a Doula Provides~

In childbirth a doula provides the laboring woman and her partner with emotional support, physical comfort measures, an objective viewpoint, and assistance obtaining information before, during, and immediately after birth.
