GETTING STARTED WITH A DOULA DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A DIFFICULT PROCESS. LEARN MORE BELOW ABOUT OUR DOULAS AND WHAT WE OFFER.
Why Work with The Birthwork FOUNDATION?
Our doulas provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth to help families feel empowered, informed, and cared for every step of the way. From first-time parents to experienced parents — our doulas are available to advocate for you and to help parents experience more easeful, less complicated births.
We not only support the birthing parent, but also families and partners through the full birthing process. Studies show that families supported by doulas often experience shorter labors, less need for interventions, and higher satisfaction with their birth experiences.
