A Birth Doula joins during pregnancy and ensures that you are prepared for your delivery by building birth plans, educating, and connecting your family to community resources. During the birth, your Doula will be an integral part of the labor-management team as you move through your birthing time. From comfort measures and words of affirmation to advocacy your Birth Doula facilitates the functionality of the room so that you and your partner/spouse can find empowerment through this sacred space.
A Postpartum Doula's responsibilities change each day based on your and your family's needs. The role has its roots in a philosophy of women supporting other women during childbirth and parenting. A Postpartum Doula gives you physical and emotional support after the birth of your baby. Typical Postpartum Doula support might include:
Offering breastfeeding knowledge, support, and assistance
Helping with newborn care, such as diaper changes, naps, and feedings
Meal prep
Light Housekeeping
We are pleased to offer small intimate group or private Childbirth Education Classes, scheduled at your convenience. These classes are offered by our Childbirth Eduactor Missy. Interactive games, models, and videos are utilized in the class to educate and empower parents for birth in a fun, memorable way! Parents will learn about the stages of labor, labor positions, comfort measures and coping techniques, risks and benefits of medical interventions and medications, tips for choosing the right care provider, breastfeeding, and birth plans. Newborn care and postpartum care are also discussed. Because of the private nature of the class, parents can feel comfortable asking as many questions as they’d like. By having a small group setting for your class you will have opportunity to build community amongst other families in similar seasons. Contact us about scheduling today!
