Doulas
Your doula will provide comfort measures and emotional support for you during your labor and delivery. They will work side-by-side with and support your partner, provide you evidence-based information, help you communicate with your care provider, will stay with you for the duration of labor and will support your decisions 100%. 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.
