Professional Labor Assistance involves personal attention from an experienced professional from prenatal to postpartum in order to help you get the birth experience you desire. Labor Assistance Services include: 

Getting to know what you want from your birth before the event. 

As a Childbirth Educator, I understand the need to be fully informed - before, during and after your birth, so I make myself available to answer your questions and discuss your options. 

Meeting you in your home for the labor and staying with you until the birth is complete and the family is comfortable. 

As a Breastfeeding Support Specialist I am qualified to assist after the birth with any postpartum questions or concerns you may have. 

Doula Services are as individual as the family but here are some common practices: 

• Emotional support 

• Help with preparation and carrying out of a birth plan 

• Massage and other non-medical pain relief measures 

• Positioning suggestions during labor and birth 

• Help supporting the partner so they can love and encourage the laboring woman 

• Assistance with avoiding unnecessary interventions 

• A written record of the birth 

Whatever your needs for your child's birth, professional labor assistance is an excellent investment in your family.
