Birth
Doula Services

provide.

- valuable information,
emotional & physical comfort and encouragement

advocate for your birth plan
- continuous care &
support during your entire labor and birth
- guidance &
assistance with relaxation, breathing and positions
- assistance with
breastfeeding
Our
services include...
- unlimited, 24-hour a
day on-call support during entire pregnancy

to provide education & emotional support
- early labor support in
your home
- continuous active labor
support in your chosen birth setting

support & care

Imagine what might happen if the majority of women emerged
from their labor beds with a renewed sense of the strength and
power of their bodies and their capacity for ecstasy through
giving birth. When enough women realize that birth is a time of
great opportunity to get in touch with their true power, and then
they are willing to assume responsibility for this, we will
reclaim the power of birth and help move technology where it
belongs - in the service of birthing women, not as their
master.
~ Christiane Northrup, M.D.
