Words cannot express how grateful we are to have benefited from Stephanie’s wisdom and experience during my labour. She worked tirelessly and was able to anticipate my needs, suggest positions, and serve as a role model for my husband, all while providing a calm presence, positive energy and much needed vocal support.
Laura - 2013

We are so grateful you were able to be with us at the birth of our daughter. Your guidance and support when we were at our most vulnerable allowed us to achieve our birthing goals with confidence. You filled in many of our knowledge blanks before the birth, so when it did come time to go to the hospital we felt confident and prepared.

Evidence shows that continuous support can decrease the risk of Caesarean, the use of medications for pain relief, and the risk of a low five minute Apgar score. Labour support also increases satisfaction and the chance of a spontaneous vaginal birth. Continuous support may also shorten labour and decrease the use of Pitocin (Syntocinon). Although continuous support can also be offered by birth partners, midwives, nurses, or even some physicians, research has shown that with some outcomes, doulas have a stronger effect than other types of support persons. As such, doulas should be viewed by both parents and providers as a valuable, evidence-based member of the birth care team.’   (Evidence Based Birth, 2019)

An updated Cochrane review on the use of continuous support for women during childbirth by Bohren et al in 2017, combined the results of 26 trials that included more than 15,000 people and found that overall, people who have continuous support during childbirth experience a number of benefits –  https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD003766.pub6/full#
