What is a Doula?

A doula is a compassionate, trained professional who provides unwavering support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. While doulas don’t perform medical tasks or deliver babies, they work closely with your healthcare team to ensure you feel truly supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.
Doulas offer continuous, gentle support that can help ease stress, provide comfort, and boost your confidence during labor. They’re there to listen, offer reassurance, and guide you through each decision, making sure you feel heard and respected. Whether it's offering comfort techniques, emotional encouragement, or helping your partner be more involved, a doula is your dedicated ally in the birth experience.
From your first prenatal visit to the days after your baby is born, a doula creates a warm, nurturing environment that lets you feel in control, calm, and cared for—ensuring your journey into parenthood is as positive and memorable as possible.

What a Doula Offers

As your doula, I’m here to walk with you through one of the most powerful seasons of your life—offering consistent emotional, physical, and informational support from pregnancy through postpartum. I provide evidence-based childbirth education to help you feel informed and confident in your choices, while creating space for your voice, values, and culture to be honored every step of the way. Whether you’re birthing in a hospital, at home, or somewhere in between, I advocate for your wishes and work to ensure you feel seen, heard, and supported. My care doesn’t end at birth—I also offer postpartum support, including breastfeeding guidance, newborn care tips, and a listening ear for those first tender days of adjustment. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—I’ve got you.

I help prepare you before you even get to the hospital.

I can help you clarify your birth preferences and explain what your rights are. Whether it’s wanting delayed cord clamping, avoiding unnecessary interventions, or just making sure your partner stays by your side, they help you build a plan and the language to back it up.

I'm here to remind you that “No” is a complete sentence.

In the moment, it’s easy to feel pressured by hospital staff. A doula can gently step in and say, “Can we have a moment to talk?” so you can make informed choices—not rushed ones.

I will help translate medical talk into real talk.

When doctors are throwing around terms like “failure to progress” or “non-reassuring heart tones,” a doula can help break it down so you understand exactly what’s happening, and what your options are.

I help after birth, too.

Postpartum is full of new decisions—about feeding, healing, and adjusting to life with a baby. A doula helps you filter through advice and expectations, so you can do what feels right for you, not just what other people say you “should” do.
