What is a Doula? Is it Right for Me?

A doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Unlike medical professionals, doulas focus on non-clinical aspects of care, creating a calming and empowering birth experience.

Evidence shows that doula support is associated with shorter labor durations, reduced need for medical interventions like C-sections, and increased satisfaction with the birthing experience. A 2017 Cochrane review of 26 studies concluded that continuous support from a doula can lead to better outcomes for both parent and baby, highlighting the value of this personalized, compassionate care.

My Approach

As a holistic doula, I support every aspect of wellbeing—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—while ensuring birthers feel deeply connected to their journey. I am dedicated to evidence-based practices, helping birthers make informed decisions, and empowering them to reclaim their birthing experience from a system that often prioritizes institutional procedures over individual needs.

Connecting Back to Your Power

 In a world that has become increasingly disconnected and a medical system that prioritizes profit and procedure over patient autonomy, I believe we are in desperate need of a shift in how we approach birth. YOU are the birther, this is YOUR baby(ies) and YOUR birth. It’s time to reclaim your power as you embark on this divine birthing journey.

What is the investment?

I offer a few different packages ranging from $800-$2000. I also offer sliding scale payment options and scholarships on an individual basis. I strongly believe every birther should have access to supportive care, and I want to help make this support as accessible as possible.

I have a supportive partner and a great care provider. can i still benefit from a doula?

Yes! A doula does NOT replace a health-care provider or a partner. A doula is there to support the birther and their support team. In fact, a doula can help the partner to be more involved and supportive. **Reword
