I am comfortable supporting pregnant people and their families in all settings including hospital, birth center and at home. I have experience supporting high risk and VBAC clients. I have been described by many of my clients as a calm, patient, reassuring presence and I tailor my support to meet the individual needs of expectant families as they enter the amazing experience of parenthood. As a doula, I am a trained professional who provides emotional support, physical comfort and informational assistance to a pregnant mother and her partner before during and just after childbirth. I provide comfort measures like massage, counter pressure, position suggestions and continuous reassurance. The presence of a doula has actually been shown to reduce the need for medical intervention and cesarean section. Doulas also support the mother and her partner. Fathers/partners experience the birth as an emotional journey of their own and may find it hard to be objective in such a situation, and a doula facilitates the family process. Studies have shown that fathers/partners usually participate more actively during labor with the presence of a doula than without one. The continuous presence of a doula at a hospital or birthing center can be of great comfort to a laboring woman and her partner. A doula does not speak for them, but can facilitate communication between the couple and their caregivers.
