The Power of Doula Support at Your Birth

Having a doula at your birth can be a game-changer for women and their partners. By providing emotional, physical, and informational support, a doula can help to reduce fear and anxiety, improve birth outcomes, increase partner involvement, provide personalized care and support and empower women to take control of their birth experience. If you’re expecting, consider hiring a doula to support you on your journey to motherhood. You won’t regret it!

What is a Doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to the birthing person and their partner before, during and after childbirth. A doula can provide personalized care and support that is tailored to a woman’s individual needs and preferences. This can include everything from massage and positioning techniques to help manage pain, to providing emotional support and reassurance during the birth process.

Benefits of Having a Doula

Reduced Fear and Anxiety

A doula’s presence can provide a sense of calm and reassurance, helping to alleviate concerns and worries. By providing emotional support and reassurance, a doula can help a woman feel more confident and prepared for the birth experience.

Improved Birth Outcomes

Studies have shown that women who have a doula present at their birth tend to have shorter labors, fewer complications, and a lower risk of cesarean sections.

Increased Partner Involvement

A doula can also provide support and guidance to a woman’s partner, helping them to feel more involved and engaged in the birth process.

Empowerment and Autonomy

The presence of a doula can provide sense of empowerment and autonomy to the birthing person. A doula can help a woman feel more in control of her birth experience and more confident in her ability to make informed decisions about her care.

I provide doula support to Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Northern NJ.

I will stay for 1-2 hours after the birth of the Baby to provide lactation support.

Massage throughout Labor

This is one of the greatest benefits of working with a Doula who is also a licensed massage therapist.
Massage during labor is one of the most effective pain relief strategies that I offer.

I offer Swedish Massage and Acupressure to relieve pain during
contractions. My massage oils contain essential oils of your preference to
provide Aromatherapy and create a deeply relaxing state. If virtual support is
needed, I will instruct your partner on the best massage techniques.

I will remain with you for the first 1-2 hours postpartum (occasionally longer if necessary), to give recovery
and breastfeeding support. I will only leave once you and your family are settled and ready for quiet time together.

birth. Postpartum visits are 60-90 minutes.
