Doula Support
Too often women and families go into their birth experience with the bare minimum. We are here to change that, to provide you with accurate tools on what you need to know, to have the best and most positive birth experience possible. We talk about the anatomy of birth, methods of pain relief, birth options (vaginal, c-section, home birth etc), partnership integration, pelvic floor, breastfeeding, postpartum realities, your birth plan, birth affirmations and more.
What is a Doula?
A Doula is an advocate and guide, trained to assist a birthing person in bringing their precious baby into the world. A doula provides, emotional, physical, and spiritual support, as well as deep education on the body, the birth experience and postpartum realities.

Accurately named the ‘Fourth Trimester’, those vulnerable few months postpartum are full of emotion. A lot of the time it’s a lonely place as most of your healthcare providers don’t need to see you until your 6 week appointment. As a doula we take the fourth trimester as a given part of your pregnancy. Offering specified support to the multi-dimensional changes happening within the family unit.
