Why Naturopathy

Why consult with a Doula?
What IS a Doula?

The word "doula" comes from ancient Greek, meaning "a woman who serves." Today, "doula" refers to a professional trained to provide emotional, physical and informational support to women throughout their pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period.

Studies have shown that women who have incorporated a doula into their pregnancy/birthing experience have seen:

EMOTIONAL BENEFITS

Reduced levels of anxiety
Mother's have more positive reviews of their birth experience
Mothers have acute sensitivity toward their newborns
Mothers feel secure and have more confidence
Reduced incidences of postpartum depression

PHYSICAL BENEFITS:

25% shorter labor
50% reduction in cesarean rate
60% reduction in epidural requests
40% reduction in oxytocin use
30% reduction in the use of pain medications
40% reduction in forceps delivery

Postpartum Benefits:

Studies show that women cared for by a postpartum doula, compared to those who went without, experienced:

greater breastfeeding success
greater self-confidence
less postpartum depression
a significantly more positive outcome for the family

Have an Empowering Birth

In a study published in the Journal of Perinatal Education, women who had the support of a doula during childbirth were more likely to report feeling in control of their labor and delivery, and less likely to report feeling traumatized by their birth experience.

Feel Ready For Your Next Chapter!

According to a survey of over 14,000 people who gave birth in the United States, those who had a doula present during labor were more likely to report feeling prepared for labor and birth, and more likely to feel confident in their ability to cope with labor.

"When the time came and Noelle was ready to be here, Savannah was the one to my aid. She was such a major part of my support system and was a tremendous help with keeping my pain under management. I was able to achieve my goals because of her. She continuously encouraged me and never doubted me, even when I doubted myself. She is not only a wonderful person but is a fantastic doula. Her passion truly shined through in the delivery room. I will forever be grateful for what she’s done for me and my little family."
