Why hire a Doula?

Doulas are trained professionals that provide emotional, physical, and informational support to mothers and their partners during labor and birth.  Studies have shown improved outcomes for mothers and babies with continuous labor support:

• Decreased risk of cesarean birth
• Decreased risk of medical interventions
• Decreased request for pain medication or epidural
• Improved birth outcomes for mother and baby
• Improved satisfaction with birth experience
• Improved rates of early breastfeeding

There are a plethora of reasons why women and families choose to have a Doula as part of their birth team.  Some of those reasons may be very personal and some may be very practical!  Whatever your reason, I feel confident in my ability to provide for your particular needs in a culturally sensitive, objective, and supportive fashion.
