MIGHTY MAMA DOULA SERVICES
What's a Doula?
As a birth doula, I provide emotional and physical support to you during your labor and delivery to help you achieve the safe and satisfying birth experience you desire. I am also there to help facilitate communication with the medical staff to ensure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions regarding your birth experience.
I will provide non-medical comfort techniques to help soothe your muscles and ease your body through birth, including massage, counter pressure, positional changes and suggestions on how to maintain a positive birth atmosphere. A relaxed body and positive atmosphere provide the perfect environment for smooth labor progress.
