What does a doula do?

We’re here for you.

Physical Support

We’re here to offer comforting touch, movement and positional suggestions, a cool cloth on your brow, or a warm heating pad on your lower back. We support you physically as you move through this physiological process.


Emotional Support

We’re here to listen to your hopes, your joys, your fears, and all those unnameable feelings that come up in this emotional process. We bring a gentle, non-anxious presence–no matter what you’re feeling.


Informational Support

We’re here to educate and empower you (and your partner), based on hundreds of hours of birth experience, to make the best decisions for your family. Like travel guides in a foreign country, we help birth seem a little less unfamiliar and help you feel confident to choose what’s right for your body and your baby’s.


Holding Space

We’re here to be witnesses to your story, guardians of safety, and guides through transformation. We help maintain an environment that is calm, comforting, and reverent so that you can step into the flow of birth.
