Maternal World
We take pride in serving our birthing parents as they embark on a sacred transition in life. Take a look around and see how we may be able to assist you on your journey.
What is a Doula?
A neutral non-bias knowledgeable personal maternal best friend. We are trained and experienced non-medical professional that provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to you, the birthing person before, during, and after birth. We are dedicated to ensuring the birthing person is heard and cared for throughout their journey into motherhood. We ensure you are able to make informed decisions and your rights are advocated.
When should you secure your doula?
The earlier the better as doula's can have a packed year. The beginning of your second trimester (about 14 weeks) is a good time to have your doula secured by. I typically begin working with my clients at the 28 week mark. So I recommend booking as soon as possible NOT weeks before your due date.
Why invest in a Doula?
There is currently a maternal health crisis particularly affecting black parents in the states. Resulting in maternal death rates doubling in the last 20 years.
Having a doula present can curve the effects of improper healing, unnecessary medical interventions, and protection in your most vulnerable moments.
According to Cochrane Review of 26 trials that contained 26,000 people having a doula present can:
Shortens length of labor by 25%
decreases overall cesarean rate by 50% and use of Pitocin by 40
have fewer complications
increased chance of a spontaneous vaginal birth
less likely to use pain medications including epidurals
less likely to report a negative birthing experience
High APGAR score
