Labor Support

At the first sign of labor you should notify me regardless of the time of day. A doula will be at your side to render support when ever you are ready for me to come. Normally we will come to your home and then travel with you to your place of birth. Also as part of our services we will stay with you until things settle down after the birth. During labor and birth we will perform massage and other non-Pharmacological pain relief measures, make suggestions in regards to changes in atmosphere/environment to facilitate birth, help support the partner so that they can love and encourage, supply emotional support and information on the progress of birth or any medical procedures that the staff are considering.
