My doula services are customized depending on my clients’ wishes.
I have been working with parents-to-be as a birth doula since 2006.
I am also a certified childbirth educator, postpartum doula and trained home-birth midwife. As my clients, you get more experience and education when you hire me than you would get from a typical doula.
My extra knowledge and experience are particularly valuable for clients with special concerns about their pregnancies. For them, I offer the extra time and support wanted and needed. I am by your side in labor and birth to give continuous emotional and physical support.
More and more birth professionals agree that continuous doula support improves labor and delivery outcomes for the birthing person and baby.
In February 2014 the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said, “Continuous labor support, including support provided by doulas, is one of the most effective ways to decrease the cesarean rate.”
