ATTENTION: Currently accepting new clients expecting after January 1, 2014. If you need help finding a doula before then, please contact me and I will be glad to give you referrals.
Doula is a Greek word meaning "woman servant". Doulas assist mothers and families physically and emotionally throughout the childbirth process. A doula provides continuous support, is an advocate, labor coach, and support partner, to give you and your birth team a greater sense of comfort throughout the miraculous birth process.
