Serving the Los Angeles, Long Beach & Orange County areas


A Doula (which may also be called Childbirth Assistants, Labor Support Professionals, Labor Coachs, or Birth Companions.) is a woman who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and immediately after the arrival of newborn(s). 

A Doula does not replace the partner. Instead she helps support the partner so that he or she can love and encourage the laboring woman.

A Doula offers massage, suggestions for position changes, relaxation techniques, reminders to stay hydrated and keep her bladder empty. She also believes in a woman's ability to birth her baby. 

Studies have shown that having a doula may decrease:
  • Epidural use by 60%
  • Cesarean birth by 30%
  • Pitocin use by 40%
  • Narcotics use by 30%
  • Forceps use by 30%
  • Length of Labor by 25%
  • Incidence of Postpartum Depression
  • Levels of Anxiety

As well as an increase of:
  • Successful Breastfeeding
  • A more positive birth experience
  • Higher chance of spontaneous vaginal birth
  • Having higher regard and increased sensitivity toward baby
