Birth Experiences 

& Outcomes

Every family in want of a doula should have access to one. For this reason, we offer sliding scales and scholarships.

"With a clear definition, the responsibilities of the doula can be filled adequately by thoroughly trained individuals. This could help ensure that the mother and child will reap the potential benefits of having a doula. This scoping review presented data that support the presence of a doula; doulas have been found to reduce cesarean section frequency, low birth weight, and premature labor. Evidence shows that decreased cesarean sections have led to better outcomes for the mother and the child. Doula intervention has also been correlated with a decrease in epidural use during delivery, increased rates of breastfeeding, and the use of safety precautions for the child. The advocacy that doulas provide can increase well-being and satisfaction concerning the birthing process, and it provides education and support. This support may reduce mental health morbidities, such as PTSD, in mothers without a support system. The implementation of doulas as a common healthcare entity could be helpful, particularly for women who experience healthcare disparity.
