A Doula offers emotional support by being there for you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. A Doula is available to chat when you are feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to.
Educational support is a Doula being available to answer your questions and provide information, so you aren't stuck googling and ending up more confused than when you started! During the prenatal visit, we go over the main options and important information you will need to know before birth but also answer all your questions.
Physical Support is the support offered during birth. The hip squeezes and counter pressure but also the hand to hold and comforting touch.
Postpartum Support

Physical support is also hands-on support during the postpartum period, helping you gain confidence as a parent. Sometimes you need an extra hand to ensure you are caring for yourself, and we are here to help with that too.
