Why hire a doula?

The word doula is taken from an ancient Greek word meaning "woman who serves." Today, the term doula refers to a compassionate and experienced individual who guides an individual or family through a significant life transition such as a birth or postpartum. During their work together, the doula provides continuous support to all members of the new family—client, partner, and family. The doula and the family come to share a deep connection founded on the guidance, experience, information, and support the doula provides. 

​Families who have benefited from professional doula assistance report feeling more positive about their life transitions, achieving greater success with self care, and bonding more strongly as a family, even months later!

When a doula is part of a family's birth team, they can*: 

  • shorten labor by 25%

  • decrease requests for an epidural by 60%

  • decrease the likelihood Cesarean section by 50%

  • decrease the need for use of Pitocin by 40%

  • increase overall families' positive feelings about the childbirth experience
