Doulas are trained to help families connect with evidence-based resources so they can ask great questions & make informed decisions about their births. Doulas serve as a bridge of communication between women & their providers. Lifting them up to help them find their voices & advocate for the very best care.
Doulas help families feel supported, easing the emotional experience of birth & also helping to create a space where the hormones of labor can work at their best. Whether a birth is completely unmedicated or medically complex, every family can benefit from the nurturing & connection at this tender, incredible time in their lives
Position ideas for comfort & labor progression cross over with hands-on comfort measures like comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques & other “doula magic” for families.

Some families desire a trusted individual to pray with them & for their pregnancies & labors. We firmly believe in the word of God & the power of prayer. “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them.” – (Matthew 18:20)
