A Birth Doula accompanies a woman and her close ones, in labour and beyond, taking care of her emotional and physical needs throughout childbirth. A doula also provides support and suggestions for partners that can enhance their experience of birth together.

Numerous studies have found that a doulas presence at birth can: result in fewer complications, increase positive feelings and reduce the need for interventions during labour.

A Postpartum Doula offers support as needed in the early days after baby is born. This may include: emotional support, educational support in the areas of breastfeeding, newborn care, and postpartum care for the new mother. Practical needs may also be addressed: feeding the new family, running errands, taking care of light household duties such as meal prep/clean up and laundry. Some research has shown that families who hire a postpartum doula feel more secure and cared for, have greater success with breastfeeding, have greater self-confidence, and have less postpartum depression.

We are here to help during this joyful and sometimes overwhelming time. Visit our website, enjoy our links, and contact us for a consultation.
