Professional Birth Doula

Doulas Are:

 A family is preparing to welcome their baby. They’ve got their hospital bag packed, they’ve read the books, they’ve picked the car seat. But when labor begins, the emotions rush in, excitement, fear, uncertainty, and hope all mixed together. This is where a doula steps in. A doula is not there to take over or to make decisions for the family. Instead, we walk beside them. We hold a hand through a contraction. We remind them of their breathing when things get intense. We suggest positions that make labor more manageable. We whisper encouragement when doubts creep in. We also help partners feel confident; they don’t have to know it all, because we’re there to guide them too. 

At its heart, a doula’s role is about helping families feel supported, capable, and not alone in one of the most powerful moments of their lives. 

Start your journey here

It is that and more

 But it is about much more than this. It is the support through pregnancy such as when there is a question about some lab work. It's the support at the end of pregnancy when a client feels like they are never going to go into labor and they can't reach their feet to put on shoes and you have to talk them off the cliff. It's the long labors and the ones that are so fast that no one has a chance to even wrap their heads around the fact there is a baby coming, NOW.  

Learn the Skills That Change Birth

It's about being fluid; it's about being what the family needs in that moment.

Why Families Need YOU


Modern birth settings can feel clinical, rushed, and full of decisions families may not be prepared to navigate. Nurses change shifts, providers have multiple patients, and partners often feel overwhelmed. What families need is someone who stays by their side start to finish.

Research shows that families supported by doulas experience:

  • Shorter labors
     
  • Fewer interventions and cesareans
     
  • Greater satisfaction with their birth
     
  • Stronger bonds with their babies and partners
