Doula Services
Birth doulas provide physical and emotional support to moms and their partners before, during and after labor.
Studies have shown that a doulas presence at birth can:
- result in shorter labors
- reduce the rates of interventions and cesarean birth
- reduce mother’s request for pain medication
- increase positive feelings about the birth experience
Doula services include:
- a home visit to discuss plans for labor and birth
- 24 hours a day on call for the two weeks before you due date until you give birth
- unlimited phone support until labor begins
- labor with mom and dad at home and help with transition to the hospital, unless a home birth is planned
- support throughout the entire birthing process and up to two hours postpartum to help facilitate breastfeeding
- a postpartum visit that included a lactation consultation in the early postpartum period
Please call for pricing and schedule availability.
