I’m so glad to have you hear,
I can’t wait to hear from you!
What is a doula?
According to Dr. Christine Morton, author of the book Birth Ambassadors, 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.
People who have continuous support during childbirth experience a:
- 25% decrease in the risk of Cesarean
- 8% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
- 10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
- Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average
- 38% decrease in the baby’s risk of a low five minute Apgar score
- 31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience
A Little About Me
I always wanted a water birth but, being “high risk” I had to have a hospital birth. I was induced, given an epidural, in the hospital for three days and now I’m bringing my experiences to you. Be that at home, in a hospital, or in a birthing center. Because you deserve as much of the birth you desire as possible.
