Research shows that women who were supported by doulas reported:
- Labor and birth as less painful
- Feeling more in control of birth
- Less anxiety after birth
- Feelings of increased self confidence
- A lower incidence of postpartum depression
- Increased incidence of breastfeeding at 6 weeks
- Improved relationships with their partners
Antepartum doula - Are you on bedrest? Have other kiddos? Need some help with all the preparations before the holiday? An antepartum doula can help take away some of the stress. Available in 4-hour increments.
Birth doula - She helps you prepare your birthplan, communicate more effectively with your care provider, works with you and your partner prepare for roles and relaxation for the big day. She either labors with you at home for as long as you wish or meets you directly at your birth place (birth center or hospital). She is there for every contraction and her sole responsibility is mother and partner's emotional well being and support.
Postpartum doula - American women are known for doing "too much, too soon". Other cultures sequester the woman for 40 days to allow her body to rest and recoup after nine long months of growing a human being and birthing one. You may not have that luxury but you can certainly enjoy some in-home support. Getting the hang of breastfeeding, enjoying 2 solid hours of naptime without the phone or wondering if the baby is okay, general housekeeping or meal preparation. This and more is the role of the postpartum doula - who mothers the mother so she can baby her baby! Available in 4-hour daytime or 8-hour night-time increments.
Classes - We have a full spectrum of classes to help raise your confidence. From Early Pregnancy Nutrition and Exercise, Newborn Care, Calming & Massage, Basics of Breastfeeding, Lamaze Natural Childbirth. We even offer gift certificates so family and friends can give you something you'll truly use and love! Check our current schedule.
Breastfeeding counseling - not sure if latch looks right? Worried about supply? Hurting? You just may need a qualified girlfriend to come coach you through a feeding or two. Or you may need the assistance of an IBCLC. We can help you determine what level of help you need. 2 hour in home consult.
In-home prenatal & postpartum massage - Sound wonderful? It is!!! And for growing a human being, you deserve it!
