Doula Services

Our goal is to help you prepare for the birth YOU desire with gentle support and guidance. This may include natural births, births using medication, VBAC's, and cesareans.  We're available to come to your home, the hospital, or birth center to provide non-biased support.   A free consultation to meet together and explore your options is always available!  Have more questions? Visit our FAQ or detailed description of services .

Studies prove that the continuous labor support of a doula can:
  • shorten time spent in labor
  • reduce levels of fear, anxiety and pain felt in labor
  • reduce cesarean births
  • reduce medications used in labor
  • increase maternal satisfaction with the birth experience
  • increase breastfeeding rates

Check out this link at Evidence Based Birth for more information on how doula support improves birth outcomes.

In addition, we'll be there as your personal expert to help you find your confidence and stamina during a very intense time.  We'll encourage your partner and help him to  know how to best support you.  We'll be your guide to help provide suggestions for comfort techniques, position changes, and relaxation methods.  You and your husband will not have to worry about remembering what to do - we'll be there to support both of you to help you achieve your desired birth.  Take a look at what parents are saying about these valuable services here.

"Bethany was gentle, knowledgeable, and supportive to my family and myself. She did an awesome job of reading my body language and knew what I needed before I even knew. My birth would not have been as comfortable and manageable without her. She captured some wonderful moments of my birth with our camera. I am forever grateful to her for providing such wonderful support!"   -J.A
