Birth Doula Services:

From the beginning of time, women have been cared for and nurtured as they journey into motherhood. The word doula is Greek and means "women’s servant".  A doula must be profoundly dedicated to making a mother feel prepared, safe, nurtured and supported to give birth in her own best way. A mother will remember her sacred journey into motherhood all her life.
