BIRTH DOULA SUPPORT
your guide for a positive birth experience
Doulas provide hands-on support in many ways, nurturing parents emotionally and physically. This can include educating the birthing family about their options, providing non-medical comfort measures such as hip squeezes, or cold washcloths on the forehead, advocating for labor and nursing positions, and encouraging skin-to-skin contact following birth, the "golden hour."
I help empower birthing people to make informed choices to achieve their birth goals and help establish a successful postpartum family.
