A birth doula supports families through the journey of labor and delivery. Whether verbal encouragement, comfort measures, or positional advice, a birth doula helps guide the mother through her joyful birth story. Educated birth support is not to be underestimated. Studies show that doula assisted births are about 30% less likely to have a C-section or require Pitocin. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD003766.pub5/abstract?cookiesEnabled A helpful summary of that information and more can be found at: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/the-evidence-for-doulas/

Medication does not exclude a mother from needing another to support her through one of the most powerful, intimate moments of her life. Whether you desire a fully medicated birth or want to deliver in the privacy of your own home, you will benefit from the care of a doula.

Investing in the support a family needs is worth every penny. Our standard rate is $1,600, which includes two sessions prior to birth, on- call period of two weeks before and after estimated due date, support through the entirety of labor, and one postpartum visit. Also included is one postpartum planning session to help you better prepare for your postpartum recovery.

A postpartum doula is a non-medical support person that is there to help families during the first year after a baby is born. The care of a postpartum doula allows for you to focus on resting, bonding and confidently caring for the newest member of your family.
