Supporting families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Birth is so much more than getting your baby out of your body. It is an intense, profound, mysterious, physical, emotional, and often spiritual journey. You need more than blood pressure checks and fetal monitoring and pain medication. You, your partner, and your baby need to be cherished and cared for before, during, and after the physical birth process. You need and deserve support, help, and encouragement as you experience one of the most incredible transitions of your life.
A doula understands the complex needs of a woman in labor and brings a sense of comfort, reassurance, and many other benefits to her and her family. She has an understanding and patience for the process of birth. She is there to offer encouraging words and physical comfort. She helps the family get information from care providers in order to advocate for themselves. She supports the woman's partner with self care and knowing what to do when. She is there to support and to serve the mother, and her family, in the practical ways they need as they journey through birth and beyond. |
"Johanna was an integral part of our wonderful success. She eased me into each phase beautifully, was calm and encouraging, a gentle and knowledgeable coach, and hands on support. She was invaluable, and the work and help of doulas in supporting moms, dads, and families is a special gift. One that should be more utilized than it is."
