Serving Los Angeles and Orange County

"You formed my inward parts; You wove me together in my mother's womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well."  -Psalms 139

The goal of a birth doula is to provide emotional, physical, and moral support to a woman and her partner through the prenatal, labor, birth, and early postpartum periods.

Doula- "woman servant"

• I am your advocate, and I will pursue your wishes and desires so as to make a more positive birth experience for both you and your partner.
• I will be a mediator for your wishes as expressed in your birth plan, and our prenatal conversations.
• I am able to help you to incorporate changes in your birth plans.
• I may help to enhance communication between you and your caregiver.
• I do not perform clinical or medical tasks.
• I will not make your decisions for you, but may help you make more informed decisions.
• I will not replace your partner's role. I strive to support both you and your partner, by being available for the two of you to rely upon and lean against.
