Why have a birth "team?"
Professional & continuous Support matters!

Doula is a word derived from Greek origins that loosely translates to“a woman who serves.” Today, a doula refers to a labor companion - a trained professional who will provide the emotional, physical and informational support before, during and after childbirth. A doula does not support medical needs during labor, but research shows that women need fewer medical interventions when they have a doula by their side.
Check out these statistics for women who utilized doulas as a member of their birth team:
* Overall, doulas decreased
+cesarean rate by 50%
+ the length of labor by 25%
+ the use of pitocin by 40%
+ the request for epidurals by 60%
The evidence is clear...doulas make a difference and building the right support team can profoundly impact birth experiences. Check out our team profiles to find the perfect doula pair to support your family.
