Whether you’ve just recently heard the word doula or you already know that having a birth doula is essential to you, I am happy to help.
In fact, let me do that right now. Here is great infographic that helps you understand the value and clinical benefits of doulas.
Here’s what we know (and there’s research to support it) women don’t forget their births. Here’s what else we know – when women feel well-supported, they experience and remember their births more positively. But there’s something else – the research shows those benefits (like the ones listed in that nifty infographic I provided the link to above) come with the support of a trained doula. And that makes sense, right?
Having a professional birth doula with you gives you peace of mind – whether you want an expert who is there to help you achieve a private experience and provide guidance when needed – or you want an expert to support not only you, but also your loved ones who may not have the answers you need or the stamina for the journey, but whose presence is also important to you.
Each family has different needs and getting those needs met is my goal for you. But I will tell something else I know … that is also the goal of every great professional doula in the Treasure Valley.
I know this because I have been training Idaho doulas since 2010. Look at the websites of nearly every birth doula in our area and you will see very similar language. That is reassuring to me as I have been dedicated to developing the doula profession in Idaho since I moved here from Seattle in 2006.
It should be hard for you to go wrong with a doula in our area. Well-trained doulas know how to help you determine what is important to you and to support you to have a positive birth experience. However, sometimes parents need help determining what they most want or need in a doula. I gladly provide consultations to parents to help them find the doula who will best fit their needs.
If, however, you know that experience is at the top of your must-have list then I might be the doula for you.
