My Services
I support women in any birth setting of their choice: hospital, birth center, or home. I provide doula services to women seeking medicated and unmedicated births or planned and unplanned cesareans.
Studies confirm that the presence of a doula for labor and delivery resulted in:
50% fewer cesarean deliveries
25% decrease in length of labor
40% reduction in oxytocin (pitocin) use
30% decrease in use of pain medication and forceps
60% decrease in request for epidurals
Increase in confidence of the father
Increased success in breastfeeding
Greater maternal satisfaction*
