. : BEAUTIFULLY BIRTHED : .

Beautifully Birthed believes all women deserve continuous emotional support, physical comfort and encouragement during their birthing time. I am there to be an advocate for your birth plan and preferences.

Benefits of having a Doula present during a woman’s birthing time:

Reduces the use of epidural anesthesia or other analgesic
Reduces the use of Pitocin
Reduces the duration of labor
Reduces the use of forceps and/or vacuum extraction
Reduces maternal fever & infection
Reduces postpartum depression
Reduces anxiety levels
Increases successful breast-feeding
Increases spontaneous vaginal birth
Provides a more positive birth experience for Mother & Birth Partner
Provides the Mother to feel more in control & secure
Provides the Mother with a higher regard for newborn & increased sensitivity toward newborn
