Doulas help facilitate communication within the family and with other support professionals. Our specialties include labor support, childbirth education, breastfeeding support, prenatal exercise and post natal support. We believe childbirth is a natural process. Our job is to support the woman and her choices, whatever they may be. Every woman and childbirth experience is different. We will work with the woman and her partner to honor their birth choices and desires.
As Childbirth Educators, we will strive to educate you about the physiology, sociology and emotions of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and early parenthood, and then to support the informed choices you make. We feel it is essential during pregnancy to educate yourselves so you can have the freedom of choice to labor and deliver as you wish Our role as your Birth Doula is to help you and your partner achieve the birth you want AND to respect your individual desires and birth wishes. We will not take the place of Dad, we only hope to enhance the experience for you both. we will work as your Doula to nurture and protect the memory of your birth experience. We hope to help you find your voice and to facilitate communication between you and your caregiver.We won't make decisions for you, nor do we set expectations of you giving birth in any particular way. |
