Doula Service
A “doula” is a wise woman who supports the mother and father during the pregnancy, labor and delivery of their child. Birth is a “natural” act regardless of where you choose to birth. If you feel safe, calm and supported during this time you should be able to achieve the birth of your dreams. A good doula acts as a continuous support member of your “team” along with your doctor or midwife and nurses. Because she is a neutral observer she can assist you in holding to your vision while at the same time being flexible to the changing situations that each unique birth presents.
Doulas have begun to fill a niche that has been growing in the health care world due to the way we have created our current medical system. I believe that every doctor and every nurse cares deeply about the birthing family and is committed to the best outcome possible for all concerned. The truth is that these caregivers have others that they are caring for as well. I feel that because the doula understands the mothers and fathers’ deepest desires as well as the hospitals concerns and policies she is able to help interpret and support the needs of both so that the perfect birth experience can be achieved.
Most importantly she is there to give continuous comfort, support and encouragement to the parents during this exciting and divine process.
The better I can come to know you and the more comfortable we can become with each other the better I can assist you at your birth. How you birth is an imprint to how you will parent, get the support you need to step confidently into this new and exciting phase of your life.
