Birth Doula Services
DEDICATED DOULAS FOR BIRTH JOURNEYS
Our birth doulas accompany families on their journey toward a safe and satisfying birth experience. We draw on professional training, knowledge, and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort and, at times, communication with staff to help you make informed decisions as they arise in pregnancy and labor. We provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, soothing touch, positioning, & other techniques for comfort.
We invite you to meet our team and review our bios, and to read more about our philosophy and our approach to serving clients.
