Research shows doulas improve birth outcomes!

Midwife
Midwives are trained to focus on wellness, whole-body health, and prevention. They are ardent supporters of natural, vaginal birth, provide individualized care, and empower mamas to make informed decisions. Across the board, midwife-attended deliveries result in fewer interventions and equal or better care for mama and baby. Like ob-gyns, they also receive extensive medical training.
