Having a doula is having an advocate and a continuous source of support and knowledge.
Full Spectrum Doula
​Research has shown that birthing persons who have a doula have a better birthing experience as well as better birth outcomes. But what is a doula?
Doulas are trained professionals who provide constant support for birthing persons. The doula is a source of educational and emotional support.
As your doula, I serve as your advocate, ensuring you are heard and cared for.
Some of the statistical benefits of having a doula include:
Having a Shorter Labor
Feeling positive about the birth experience
Better mother-baby bonding
Reduced chance of a cesarean section
Reduction in requests for epidural and other pain medications
Postpartum Doula
Postpartum doulas serve families in the fourth trimester, following childbirth.
​
In addition to providing practical and emotional support, postpartum doulas continue to empower birthing people and their families.
Lactation Consultation
Lactation consultants specialize in breastfeeding and chest feeding. When feeding concerns arise, lactation consultants provide solutions that work for parent(s) and baby.
​
Lactation consultants provide support, information, advice and answers, troubleshooting expressed concerns.
Placenta Encapsulation
Postpartum consumption of the placenta has been reported to benefit the birthing person after childbirth.
​
Some of the benefits include a decrease in postpartum mood disorders, a decrease in stress hormones, increased milk supply and faster healing.
Birth Photography
Birth photography is a priceless gift to your family. While you and your family experience birth, a photographer captures this unpredictable moment, allowing everyone to be present and support the birthing person.
Being able to look back on the special moments when your baby entered the world, allows you to celebrate your strength and bond in new ways with your family.
