Working with a Doula

“A Mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human to do the impossible…”

Marion C. Garretty

What is a Doula?

The original meaning of doula is women’s servant.  Women have been serving others in childbirth for centuries.  A doula is a professional trained in childbirth who will provide emotional, physical, and educational support throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

What should I expect?

My doula service includes a complimentary meet and greet, a prenatal visit, support through text and phone calls, 24/7 on call commitment starting at 38 weeks until birth and one postpartum visit.  

 

I would like to have at least one prenatal visit where I can get to know you and your hopes, concerns, and preferences for your labor and birth.  

 

I will be on call during your early labor.   When you reach active labor, I will support you at the hospital, home, or birth center.  I will stay with you until you and your baby are settled comfortably after birth.  During the first few weeks after birth I will offer a postpartum visit where I can give support, practical help and mentoring.

What Client's Have to Say

I’m so grateful to Helen for helping to make my recent birthing experience a positive one. Helen’s professionalism, caring and calm demeanor, and supportive and encouraging nature was essential to my experience. I did not have a doula for my first birth experience and found that having Helen’s comforting presence and helpful knowledge made all the difference.
