Doula Services

What is a Doula?

The goal of a doula is to help parents have a positive and healthy birth. Doulas provide emotional support. They help you understand what to expect during pregnancy, labor, and delivery — and they help you plan. Doulas help you talk with your nurses and doctors.

Doulas also provide classes to help with breastfeeding, stress management, breathing exercises to help during labor, while also providing comfort at bedside when your baby is about to come.

Our doulas provide:

• Comfort measures during labor and delivery
• Birth planning and pregnancy education
• Breastfeeding information and support
• Emotional support
• Help talking with doctors and nurses
• Tips on how to cope with stress
• Help and support after you give birth – and so much more
