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…

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.
