what a doula does:
* Provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support for the pregnant mom and her loved ones.
* Helps pregnant women have a positive birth experience.
* Help educate mom/couple on birth choices preparing them for childbirth.
Who else do I support?
* Support for dad/birth partner because dad/birth partner is a big part of mom achieving her positive birth experience.
* Support for VBAC moms, unmedicated-hospital births, and homebirthers.
* Support for moms choosing hospital/epidural births and even Cesareans.
I provide comfort measures such as:
- comfort techniques
- massage (limited experience here)
- relaxation techniques
- visual imagery
- energy balancing
- and helping mom release any/all fears pregnancy related - no matter how small
