Why hire a Doula?

The support of a knowledgeable, caring and supportive person by your side is invaluable. As your doula, I’d be available to answer any questions, listen to you vent, or provide resources and referrals should you need them. Running a marathon is a whole lot easier with a running buddy by your side, cheering you along the way and helping you to stretch when you need it.
