Welcoming a new baby is a life-changing experience—and you deserve support every step of the way. A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. Think of us as your steady hand, your birth cheerleader, and your trusted resource.
💛 What a Doula Does
Before birth: We help you prepare emotionally and physically for labor, answer questions, explore your birth preferences, and offer referrals for community resources.
During birth: We provide comfort measures like massage, positioning suggestions, breathing guidance, and emotional encouragement—staying with you continuously through your labor.
After birth: We support you as you adjust to life with a newborn, including basic lactation help, emotional check-ins, and postpartum recovery guidance.
📊 The Benefits of Having a Doula
Evidence-based research shows that having a doula leads to better outcomes for both birthing people and babies:
39% decrease in the risk of Cesarean
15% increase in the likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth
Shorter labors by an average of 41 minutes
38% decrease in the baby’s risk of low APGAR scores
31% decrease in the use of synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin)

Beyond the numbers, people who birth with doula support often describe feeling more empowered, informed, and calm—no matter how their birth unfolds.
