Studies have shown that when a Doula is present, labours tend to be shorter with less need for medical interventions and overall greater maternal satisfaction. Doulas also assist in creating a more relaxed postpartum environment which enhances the mother-infant bond, encourages and eases breastfeeding as well as family adjustments.

Birth Doula Services

Our role as a Doula at your birth is to provide continuous informed and supportive care to create the most positive birth experience possible.

Leading up to your birth we will meet twice to establish a birth plan highlighting your hopes for a positive birth experience, practice various comfort measures and positions to labour in, normalize the birth process and prepare you for the early days of life with a newborn . We will also build our mutual trust to feel confident and secure in your supports during your labour and delivery. We will also be available by phone, text and email to answer any questions or concerns you may have during your pregnancy.

Once labour is established we provide continuous care beginning in your residence or in the hospital. We provide hands on physical and emotional support throughout your labour and delivery by encouraging, informing, motivating, and aiding in your comforts all the while striving to meet your hopes for a positive birth experience. Once your little one/ones have joined us earth side we will continue to provide ongoing support for 2-3 hours postpartum to ensure feeding has been established and that both you and your newborn/s are adjusting and bonding well.

Finally, we will provide a postpartum visit at your residence to process your birth experience, support and aid in breastfeeding and/or formula feeding, support and aid in newborn care and also to ensure that everyone is adjusting well to their new family life.
