Birth Services

Doulas are trained to provide physical support, emotional care and information during this time. Doulas help to facilitate communication between you, your partner and the medical staff. Her presence helps a laboring person feel safe and confident throughout labor, delivery and the immediate postpartum period.

Doulas help with birth preparation teaching comfort measures, relaxation, breathing, massage, pain coping tools and positioning which allows the birthing partner to actively support with more confidence.

In 2017, Bohren et al.published a Cochrane review on the use of continuous support for women during childbirth. They combined the results of 26 trials that included more than 15,000 people. Labors with the continuous presences of a Doula: 

​

  • 39 percent less likely to have a cesarean birth

  • 35 percent less likely to have a negative birth experience

  • 15 percent more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth

  • 8% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth 

  • 10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief

  • Shorter labors
