​
A Doula is a trained non-medical professional, hired to be your accessable & continious support person throughout your pregnancy, labor & birth, and immediate postpartum time.
​
Providing advocacy, non-biased information, options, clear communication, emotional care, encouragment, physical guidance and grounded nurturing, this type of guidance and support is to ensure families, Mamas, and birthing people feel heard and respected, and experience the birth of their child(ren) as active participants and confident future parents!
What does a Doula do?
Being your Doula looks like a dozen different things! From squeezing your hips, to holding your hands, to breathing with you for hours as you rock your rhythm of labor, to moving to a background role because you don't won't to be touched and are needing solo connection with your partner. To ensuring everyone is nourished, hydrated and well rested. To speaking encouraging words, reminding you of various laboring positions, embodied centering and relaxation suggestions/direction, and so much more.
The very heart to being a Doula means being flexible and educated in multiple techniques and methods of support, guidance and birthing experiences. This is in order to best meet and address the unique needs of families, Moms, and birthing people, as they arise. Being a Doula is a communal role so Dads, partners and other intimate members of your birthing team are available to be fully present.
A few essential skills I bring: being proficient in clear communication so respectful and collaborative relationship are developed with care providers, having a relaxed and solid nervous system to regulate with in times of stress and vulnerability, providing individualized care to best help you connect with your resources, coping mechanisms and management of fear & pain, and an overall professional attitude and business ethic.
Plus a lot of love!
