Birth Doula Services

Doulas aren’t just for smooth, uncomplicated, unmedicated births. We are also there for hard births and difficult pregnancies.

We are here for the journey, the ups and the downs, the smooth sailing appointments, the last minute complications.

We are here for all of it; we are here to be your port in the storm.

“Birth may bring you face-to-face with your insecurities, doubts, inadequacies and fears as well as your joy, determination, willingness and courage.” - Unknown

Evidence Based Information. Advocacy. Physical Support. Emotional Support.

“Safety during labor is the floor of what people deserve. We all should be aiming for care that is not just safe, but empowering and supportive” -Neel Shah, MD MPH

We want all our clients to have the best possible experience of birth and new parenthood. For us, that means thinking beyond birth itself and offering support for our clients through pregnancy, labor and birth, and the early days of postpartum. As doulas we offer unlimited phone and email support for our clients throughout pregnancy and are on-call for your birth from the moment we receive your retainer and signed contract. We include three prenatal visits during which we can help you design your birth plan, answer your questions, and practice the essential comfort techniques so that you’re prepared for your labor. In labor we will meet you at your home or birth place when you feel ready for additional support and remain with you until your baby is born. In labor we can offer comfort techniques, help you navigate decisions, and help you advocate for you and your baby.
