I am a certified doula in prenatal, birth, and postnatal care.
What is Doula?
Doula is referred to a woman, who is a non medical professional who provides guidance and support to pregnant women throughout their entire pregnancy experience, right up until birth and even afterwards.
I provide emotional, physical and informational support to individuals and families throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and early postpartum period.
Whether you are new or have previously experiences the transition to matrescence / motherhood, electing or needing a cesarean section, would like extra help for you to simply be present or feel drawn to being supported and held through this transition, I offer a wide range of services to help ensure a positive birth experience.
When you hire a Doula expert you are less likely to have a Caesarean and more likely to have a shorter average labor time. There are also higher rates of birth satisfaction, and Lowe risk of having an induction.
You have decided you want the support of a Doula and I would love for us to meet and get to know one another.
