Pregnancy and childbirth is a time of immense transformation. An educated and well-supported family will be more empowered as they embark on this journey. It is my goal to provide continuous support to mothers and families during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum time. Every woman deserves the emotional, physical, and educational support offered by a doula.
When doulas support women during birth, research finds:
- 25% less likely to have a cesarean section
- 31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to speed up labor
- 9% less likely to use any pain medication
- 34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience negatively
Numerous studies have shown the benefits of continuous support during labor, like that offered by a doula. To look at some specific studies, please visit this page.
