Consider the advantages of having a professional doula at your side:

• Prenatal education to help you visualize your ideal birth

• Help preparing a written birth plan to aid in discussion with your care provider

• Emotional support during labor and birth

• Physical support and coping strategies during labor and birth

• Communication and Interpretation if you are not French speaking

• Immediate information on the risks/benefits of proposed interventions

• Support for your partner, so that he can be an active participant in his child's birth

• Breastfeeding support in the hours and days following your child's birth

     . . .  and so much more! 

Take a look at my FAQs for more information.

If you are considering a more natural approach to childbirth, please start by watching the Lamaze Healthy Birth Practices videos found here.  These videos give a great overview of what you need to consider when planning for your baby’s birth.

Only you can complete this journey to birth, but I can help guide you down the path you have set for yourself.  Sometimes, the difference between achieving a goal and losing sight of that goal is the continuous support of someone who wholeheartedly believes in you.

We have a secret in our culture. And it's not that birth is painful,

but that women are strong.  - Laura Stavoe Harm
