Sacred Blessing - Support Services for the Childbearing Year
 
What is a doula?
 
A doula is a person who assists a woman during childbirth. Doulas provide physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and/or after the birth.
 
Why are doulas important?
A doula's efforts can help to make labors shorter and less complicated. Babies often benefit by being healthier, and breastfeeding is easier due to the extra support that doulas bring. Likewise, the transition into parenthood is eased by the presence and support of a doula.
 
What do my services include?
 
I offer support based on my training and my on-going education from the Life Cycles Doula Training Certification Program, and I work as both a birth doula and a post-partum doula (both are outlined below). My full-birth doula service comes with a post-partum visit, but you can get a post-partum visit only. Read below for more informaion. I also offer Childbirth Education Classes.
 
My Birth Doula Services Include:
  • One visit prior to the birth where I will conduct a thorough interview (which lasts about two hours) with the couple, during which we will address:
        -important background and birth-related information
        -necessary educational information and resource materials
        -birth-planning resources
        -other resources and necessary steps for having a healthy, happy 
         pregnancy and baby
 
  • Available continuous support with the woman throughout pregnancy and labor
  • One post-partum visit lasting up to two hours to help care for the mother and baby, help with light household cleaning, and to reinforce and establish nursing
  • Continuous informational support during pregnancy  
  • Emotional, physical, professional, and informational support measures during pregnancy, labor, and post-partum
  • A non-judgmental point of view (we are all different and unique!)
  • Promotion of communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her clinical care providers
  • Support and protection of the birthing women's memory of her labor
  • Collaboration with the woman's partner to help them participate at their comfort level
  • Respect and reverence for the placenta and afterbirth, information on placenta usage for recovery and/or ceremonial purposes
