Now Offering Birth Doula Services

What is a birth doula? A birth doula is trained specifically to offer support to a pregnant and laboring woman. The word 'doula' comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves," and now refers to a trained and experienced birth attendant who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth. A birth doula is valuable for pain management; performing massage, recommending positions that assist the progress of labor and verbal encouragement to the mother as labor progresses. The doula supports the mother's beliefs and her desires for her childbirth experience and assists her in many ways as the labor unfolds.

Typically, the doula will stay with the mother for a brief period after the birth of her child and will offer suggestions and assist in helping the new mom learn breast feeding techniques and other baby basics. She will help the mother and her partner as they are adjusting to parenthood by staying in touch during the first several weeks postpartum. Her doula presence is reassuring and comforting during this miraculous time.

Studies have shown that the use of a birth doula has been linked to shorter labors, decreased incidences of postpartum depression, increased success with breastfeeding, and a greater overall satisfaction with the entire birth experience.
