“When we enter the world of birth, we step across the threshold from the mundane to the sacred.”
— Britta Bushnell, Transformed by Birth: Cultivating Openness, Resilience, and Strength for the Life-Changing Journey from Pregnancy to Parenthood
Doulas are Essential
A birth doula is a certified professional who assists the family using emotional and physical support. Doulas also provide vital education so that each family can make their own informed decisions. Doulas are not medical professionals. Their sole purpose is to be present during your birth to ensure consent, provide support, and help you achieve a satisfying birth experience.
Don’t just take my word for it! The research says it all:
Shortened labors by 25%
Reduced use of pain medication during birth by 10%
Increased likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth by 15%
Lower rate of c-sections by 25-39%
Higher feelings of satisfaction with birth experience by 31%
As your doula, I promise to:
Hold a calm, safe space for your experience and emotions.
Provide hands-on support for pain management and to aid in shortening your labor.
Empower you to make educated decisions that are best for you and your family.
Be a source of information while providing you with references along your birth journey.
Encourage confidence that your body is capable of birth in its own unique and remarkable way.
