Choosing a Birth Team

Putting together a birth team to support all the elements of a smooth birth can be hugely impactful.

Adding a doula to the team has statistically proven to reduce birth trauma and medical interventions.

A doula not only provides comfort measures like; pressure point pain relief, birthing position suggestions, food and water, ambience, aromatherapy…

A doula can also act as an advocate for your birth plan, and a support person helping you understand in-the-moment medical advice, so you can stay less in your brain, and more in your body— and, keep you and your requests at the center of your birth experience.

Beyond all of the logistical pieces we hold as doulas, one of my greatest contributions, I feel, is being a calm grounded presence, and someone who believes in the body's capability to birth.

As a doula, I am happy to accommodate whatever vision of extra support looks like to you. Maybe you want me quietly on the sidelines "just in case”. Maybe you want extra support for your partner to understand what's happening, stay collected, and know when to step in and how better to support you. And, so many more things. Whatever it may be, I am so happy to personalize a birth plan with you for a connected, empowered, beautiful birth.
