A birth doula helps you understand that because your body carries this child, it has the power to birth the child.

Welcome to An Intimate Beginning, LLC Birth Doula services. As a birth doula, I strive to ensure that all of my moms/birthers are well informed on every decision they intend to make. I push informed decisions not fear!

Q: What is a birth doula?
A: A birth doula is a trained professional who provides physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual support to the mother/birthing person and spouse/partner during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

Q: Do I need a doula?
A: If you’re pregnant, you definitely need a doula. Doulas have been statistically proven to decrease time in labor, lower the use of medications, fewer c-sections, drop in use of pitocin, and an increase in spontaneous vaginal births!

Q: Do I have to be a first time mom?
A: No, you don’t! Any mom can benefit from having a birth doula. Whether you are a first time mom or this is baby number 7!

Q: Can I not do these things by myself?
A: Of course you can! The difference is, a doula is trained to know what birthing positions to use when the baby is presenting itself in a position that is not conducive to being birthed.
