Why should you hire a doula?

  • You are expecting your first child and you are feeling afraid about your birth and are not sure what to expect.
  • You have had a baby before but had a traumatic or unsatisfying birth experience.
  • You are feeling overwhelmed by all of the choices in childbirth and need some help to make informed decisions.
  • You know what you want but are concerned you may face unnecessary interventions.
  • You need an experienced helper to support you during the postpartum period.
If any of these sound like you, you have come to the right place!
