Birth and Postpartum Services
Childbirth
Doula
Our birth Doulas support you throughout your pregnancy. They help you craft a birth plan and answer any questions you may have. They also support you during labor so you feel secure and ready.
Postpartum
Support
Our Doulas help parents and families adjust to daily life with a newborn. They provide help with baby care, maternal care, and home management. Our services are available day and night.
Childbirth
Education
Our classes cover childbirth, breastfeeding & newborn care. You can ask any questions you may have. We also provide a New Mom Group to foster community and support during this wonderful journey.
Labor
TENS Unit
The labor TENS Unit can be a useful tool. It offers a noninvasive, medication-free approach to managing pain during childbirth. It is easy to use throughout labor, and most of our clients loved it!
Specialized Care Services
We can help you arrange specialized services, such as breastfeeding and lactation support, pre- and postpartum photography, perinatal mental health counseling, or referrals to other specialists.
Credentials
Our agency strikes the perfect balance between size and personalization, providing childbirth support tailored to your needs. We are large enough to encompass a wide range of expertise in the field of childbirth and newborn care support (reflected in the credentials of our Doulas). Our size allows us to provide reliable backup support whenever and wherever you need it. This helps ensure you receive the necessary assistance. Whether you have a change in plans or require additional support, our team can accommodate your unique situation.
Yet, we are small enough to cultivate a personal approach to our clients. Our Doulas work hard to connect with you and understand your birth goals and needs. We provide individualized care that respects your decisions and preferences, ensuring you feel heard and supported throughout your childbirth experience.
"The way a woman gives birth has a major influence on the health of her baby on the short and long term, the relationship with her partner and her own mental and physical health, her self-confidence and self-esteem as a woman and a mother."- Penny Simkin (founder DONA International) -
