Mama Doula Banner

"The VBAC Doula" for the Charlotte Area

As Your Doula, I Can:
  • Come to your home and labor with you until it’s time to go to the hospital and then stay by your side until your baby is born.
  • Help you formulate a birth plan and a newborn care plan based on your preferences and desires
  • Help you interpret and understand any procedures and interventions during labor and delivery and help you gain the knowledge you need in order to make an informed decision.
  • Suggest alternate positions to make labor shorter and more comfortable
  • Provide emotional support, physical comfort measures, and an objective viewpoint
  • Provide massage, “hip squeeze” and other techniques to help ease back labor
  • Facilitate communication between you, your partner, and your care providers
  • Bring birthing balls, massage aids, aromatherapy, and other tools to help you feel more comfortable
  • Be available for several weeks after the birth to help answer any questions you may have


Birth Doula Services include:
  • 1-2 prenatal meetings to discuss birth plans and options
  • Assistance in preparing a birth plan and baby care plan
  • Phone support as needed throughout your pregnancy, labor and postpartum
  • 24/7 on call availability for three weeks before and two weeks after your estimated due date
  • Emotional, physical and informational support throughout labor, birth, and first breastfeeding
  • Access to my personal library of books and DVDs about childbirth, breastfeeding, vaccinations, infant care and other related subjects
  • 1 postpartum visit
"When you have come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly."
