Birth with a Doula

A birth doula, or labor support specialist, can help you to have a more positive birth experience. Studies show that when doulas are present at birth, women have shorter labors, fewer medical interventions, fewer cesareans and healthier babies. Recent evidence also suggests that when a doula provides labor support, women are more satisfied with their experience and the mother-infant interaction is enhanced as long as two months after the birth. With doula support, fathers tend to stay more involved with their partner rather than pull away in times of stress. 

As a DONA Trained Birth Doula and HypnoBabies Certified HypnoDoula, I would love to provide you with continuous labor support. I am located in Middletown, NY. I support women in a variety of birth settings including homebirths, birth centers and hospitals. I strongly believe that every woman should have a doula to support her throughout labor and the transition into parenthood. Whatever your vision for your birth is, I'd like to help you achieve it- drug free or not, it's your birth! I also offer Placenta Encapsulation services to mothers within a reasonable distance.
