As your doula, I am working for you, not your caregiver or hospital. Throughout our relationship I will provide the following to the best of my ability:

• Emotional support, prenatally, throughout labor, and in the early postpartum period.

• Encouragement and support for the laboring woman’s partner to participate at their comfort level.

• An experienced and objective viewpoint.

• Assistance in obtaining information in order to make informed decisions.

• To facilitate communication between the laboring woman, her partner and healthcare providers.

• Suggestions and techniques to enhance labor and ease pain.

• Breastfeeding support.
