What Is A Doula?

The ancient Greeks used the word "doula" to mean "a woman who serves." The term "doula" now refers to a trained and experienced professional who provides constant emotional, physical, and informational support to the mother before, during and immediately after birth. Studies show that when doulas attend births, labor is shorter with fewer complications, and babies are born healthier and breastfeed easier.

Birth Consultation

We take on a limited number of clients at any one time to make sure we provide you the full care and attention you deserve. The Birth Consultation is the first meeting to make sure you and your doula are a good fit for  your desired birth.
