What is a Birth Doula?
​
A birth doula is a trained, professional, non-medical childbirth assistant. Doulas provide nurturing support to growing families, in the form of emotional and physical support, as well as evidence-based information. Doulas also help parents advocate for themselves in the birth setting and facilitate communication and support between the birthing person, partner(s), and care team.

Birth notes and photography
(There are lots of details, funny or sweet moments, and milestones that tend to get lost in that rosy post-birth mental haze. For this reason, we will take notes for you to help you remember the timeline of events from your baby’s birthday. We can also take photos for you during or after the birth, so you can capture the moments that matter most)
