Birth Support

In partnership with Beth Scheppke.

Guidance and Emotional Support

A doula is committed to providing unwavering emotional support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. Our expertise helps you navigate the physical and emotional challenges, offering a reassuring presence during every step of your journey.

Advocacy and Communication

Doulas act as advocates for your birthing choices, fostering open communication with medical professionals and ensuring your voice is heard. We bridge the gap between you and the healthcare team, fostering a collaborative and respectful environment.

Personalized Birth Plan Assistance

Crafting a birth plan that aligns with your desires and preferences is a crucial aspect of a positive birthing experience. Doulas work collaboratively with you to understand your wishes, helping you articulate and implement a personalized birth plan that reflects your values and aspirations.

Reducing Anxiety and Stress

The calming presence of a doula has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress levels during labor. By offering reassurance, comfort, and coping techniques, doulas contribute to a more relaxed birthing environment, positively influencing the overall experience.

Continuous Labor Support

Doulas are solely focused on providing continuous support during labor. Our presence ensures you have a familiar face dedicated to your well-being, offering encouragement, comfort measures, and advocacy as needed.

Partner Involvement

Doulas work alongside partners, involving them in the birthing process and providing guidance on how best to support the laboring person. This involvement enhances the partner's confidence, creating a cohesive and supportive team.
