Hiring a Doula is Self Care

Jan 6, 2024

Hiring a doula is self care and self love. You deserve it. It’s a gift you give yourself (Or others give you). The future you will thank the current you for thinking ahead and caring enough for yourself. The number one thing I hear most from moms is “I wish I had met you when I was pregnant“. Doulas can prevent a lot of wasted time, stress, energy, money and most importantly trauma at birth. My biggest advice is don’t wait to hire a doula, as soon as you find out, start looking, they will act as your motherly guide-birth concierge and consultant- to help you navigate through the muddy and sometimes lonely waters of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.  We’ve taken the workshops, we’ve read the books, we’ve been through it, we know what works and what doesn’t. Helping you avoid pitfalls, sink holes  stumbling rocks and more. We provide a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a warm loving and compassionate hug. We are here for YOU throughout the entire process. Think you can’t afford a doula? You may be surprised, there are creative ways to make it work, reach out we would love to chat!
