Our time with the “What is a Doula Series” is coming to a close.

Here, I would like to offer you a little summary of the topics that contribute to how a doula encourages parents to feel “Capable of Anything,” when it comes to birth and immediately postpartum

Your doula is a touchstone and guide throughout the birth process. We meet you where you are. Provide the tools you need to make your own informed decisions. Support those decisions, and help hold space for you and your birth. Providing continuity of care from pregnancy through to immediately after birth. We stand, squat, dance, sit with you, providing continuous, uninterrupted and nonjudgmental support.

Doulas Help Partners Too???

Birth is more than just baby. The experience of the birthing person and their partner matter just as much!

There is reassurance that everything is okay based on your doula’s knowledge.

Confidence in the process as well as with each other moving through the rhythms of labor with your doula to ground and guide.

Here I debunk the assumption that a doula replaces the partner in the birthing space.

Join in as I share just how important partners are as well as how they can work together for a great birth experience with a doula.

Part of preparing you for birth is education of your options. Each pregnancy and birth is unique, and with that so are the variations that can occur. While we cannot plan everything that will happen in a birth, we can prepare and educate as best we can so you feel comfortable with the process. By knowing your choices, and options within those choices, you will be able to feel like a participant in your health care. Here I go into some of those options and how to navigate the often overwhelming process of preparing for birth and baby.
