What is a Doula?

What is a Birth-Keeper?

When you are afraid of asking the question- your Doula is there.

When your list of questions just seems to keep growing and you're unsure of how to navigate the sea of information that exists - your Doula is there.

Your Doula is there throughout your pregnancy to Educate, Comfort, and Support you in your decisions. They are there to reassure you, encourage your progress, give you resources and referrals, and let you know when it is time to seek a second opinion.

Your Doula is Educated and an Advocate for you - not speaking for you, but encouraging you to state your previously expressed wishes, when it is time to make a medical decision - in a system that is often hard to navigate.

Your Doula is all of this and more. Your Doula is there to be your greatest ally through one of the most important thresholds of your life.

Doula support is associated with reduced cesarean birth, anesthesia use, postpartum depression, and preterm birth, as well as increased breastfeeding and birth satisfaction.

Your Birth Keeper holds the space for you to come truly into your own innate Power and Decisions.

Someone who is there with Respect for your unique birth journey, to hold Sacred Space with you.
