Providing care as a doula with birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding. Serving North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Englewood, Venice, Sarasota, and the surrounding areas of SWFL.

The Evidence-

According to statistics, having a Birth Doula during pregnancy and present during birth can:
Increase spontaneous vaginal birth by 8-15%
Decrease the risk of being dissatisfied with your birth experience by 31%
Decrease in the baby’s risk of low five minute Apgar score by 38%
Decrease in surgical birth by 25-39%
Decrease the length of labor by 25% or 41 minutes on average (emotional support can release certain feelings like feeling safe, which can help mom’s body open up and provide more room for baby to get into position)
Decrease requests for an epidural by 60% (if an unmedicated birth is desired)
Decrease the use of any medications for relief by 10%
