What is a doula?
Doulas provide a unique set of skills and techniques in order to make mom and baby more physically, emotionally, and spiritually comfortable during labor. We believe that a woman should feel empowered and supported as she moves through this very important milestone.
Please allow us to help you sift through the chaos, and show you your choices in order to advocate for yourself and the type of birth you want to have. Whether that is a natural homebirth, an un-medicated hospital birth, a medicated hospital birth, a birth center birth, or a planned cesarean.
We offer free in person consultations so you can meet with our entire doula team!

Common Doula Misconceptions
-
Doulas are not the same as a Midwife or OBGYN.
-
Doulas do not replace the position of the partner during the birth and labor.
-
Doulas are there to support you and your choices, not to push their personal beliefs about birth onto you.
-
Doulas may not attend a planned unassisted birth or take the place of a professional medical provider during your labor, or birth.
