Having a baby is hard work

From healing, adjusting, and navigating all the "new" in parenthood, having a baby is a lot. While it’s true that babies don't come with a manual, there is another truth you hear less often: pregnancy and birth don’t come with a manual, either.


Pregnancy is one of the largest changes your body can go through, culminating in a birth that you can’t predict. The process can be daunting, especially since it comes at a time when you may be physically exhausted. Having someone to walk you through this stage with knowledge and experience can relieve stress and help you move toward parenthood confidently. 

We'll hold your hand through all the unknowns!

 

Doulas are the people who hold your hand through all the unknowns, stresses, and joys of childbearing and childrearing.


Our job is not to simply help you get through birth, but to walk with you from pregnancy through postpartum as you become a parent.
