Create an empowering birth plan that prioritizes your energetic well-being.
9 Benefits of Working With a Doula:
01: Continuous support during labor and delivery
Studies show continuous support from a doula in labor reduces length of labor and decreases negative childbirth experiences.
02: A support team solely focused on your needs
I show your loved ones how to be your personal doula through techniques to get you comfortable.
03: Support for the birthing person AND their partner
I will share helpful techniques with your partner and support to reduce your stress and help you relax.
04: Birth support plan: Informed on options
If you have specific birth wishes that you would like during your delivery, I help you share them with your provider ahead of time in a way that allows you to feel empowered, heard and respected. I provide an overview of how births work, communicate with the medical staff and advise as new situations arise, while supporting whatever decisions you choose to make.
05: Pain management
Did you know that when you hire a doula you are 39% less likely to give birth by c-section, 10% less likely to use pain medication and 31% less likely to say you’re dissatisfied with your birth? I can help you manage your pain and be there every step of the way.
06: Breastfeeding support
If you’re looking to breastfeed, I will provide support with setting up a breastfeeding station and work with you to help you and baby feel comfortable. If you change your mind on breastfeeding, I am there to support you.
07: Positive birth experience
Did you know that 33-45% of people refer to their birth as traumatic? By having a doula who is there to stand up for you in your most vulnerable time, it allows you to deliver with less stress.
08: Support during postpartum recovery
80% of mothers experience the baby blues and postpartum mood disorders are very common after birth. As your doula, I’m an extra set of helping hands, hands to hold. I’m there to let you know that what you’re experiencing is normal and to provide the names of counselors if you need extra professional support.
09: Focused physical comfort
During labor, I will share techniques to reduce pain, use yoga, touch, massage, breathing techniques, visualizations and reiki to get you comfortable.
