Birth Doula Services
What is a Birth Doula?
A birth doula is a companion who supports a birthing person during labor and birth. Birth doulas are trained to provide continuous, one-on-one care, as well as information, physical support, and emotional support to birthing persons and their partners.
– Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN
A birth doula provides essential support during labor and birth, offering continuous, one-on-one care to enhance your birthing experience. Trained in providing physical, informational, and emotional support, a birth doula helps you and your partner navigate the unpredictable nature of childbirth with confidence and comfort.
Research shows that having a birth doula can reduce the need for pain medication, lower the risk of Cesarean delivery, and increase overall satisfaction with your birth experience. Doulas also help shorten labor by up to 40 minutes, making a significant difference during intense contractions.
