Our View of Birth
We believe that pregnancy and childbirth are normal and natural processes that generally require little interference.
We believe that pregnancy and birth have the power to transform and are filled with opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth.
We believe you should be able to remember giving birth with deep satisfaction because you were respected, supported, and a full participant in every decision about your care every step of the way.
Whether you’ve given birth before or this is your first time, a doula can help improve your experience. We equip you with tools, knowledge, and support to be able to experience pregnancy and birth with less anxiety and more excitement, with less fear and more confidence! You’ll feel more prepared and resourceful and better able to advocate for yourself to make the decisions that are right for you.
