Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Generations of women have prepared for their babies by limiting outside activities and seeking support from experienced mothers. Though times have changed, a woman’s need for guidance and support remains true. The best research evidence confirms that birth goes more smoothly when a laboring woman is continuously attended and actively supported by another woman.
Doula support allows many women to calmly, confidently, and joyfully have a satisfying, healthy birth.
Giving birth is a miraculous event, worthy of reverence and kind attention. While working as a nurse and childbirth educator, I noticed easier, more satisfying births for women with dependable labor support.
With Child Doula Service was “born” in 1997 out of those rewarding experiences. Since then, I have spent hundreds of hours supporting women and their partners during labor. My presence in the birthing room is considerate, never interfering with medical care, nor replacing a husband’s or partner’s loving attention. Using gentle guidance and evidence-based instruction, I help women to develop courage, strength and effective coping skills for birth.
