How I support families
WHAT IS A BIRTH DOULA?
DOULA – (doo-lah): The word “doula” comes from the ancient Greek and means “a woman who serves” or “woman’s servant”. Although there are many types of doulas, the most common is a labor and birth doula, who is generally a woman who supports another woman through pregnancy, birth and early postpartum.
Studies have shown that having a doula can help make this process better by reducing the length of labor, lowering the use of epidurals and other pain medications and decreasing the risk of cesarean section birth. Doulas also play a part in helping to make breastfeeding more successful and increasing positive birth experiences overall.
But the support doesn’t stop with birth
As your Postpartum Doula, I offer intentional, individualized support for both parent and baby during the transition into life at home. Through emotional care, newborn education, feeding guidance, and practical support, I help families feel grounded, informed, and supported during this tender season.
