Do I Need a Doula?

39% less likely to have a cesarean birth with a doula.
{Shorter Labor Duration:}
Continuous support from a doula has been associated with a 25% reduction in the length of labor.
{Decreased Need for Pain Medication:}
Studies have shown that the presence of a doula reduces the need for pain medication during childbirth by 10%.
{Higher Satisfaction with Birth Experience:}
Mothers who have doula support are 31% more likely to rate their childbirth experience positively.
{Lower Risk of Newborn Complications:}
Babies born to mothers who had doula support are 14% less likely to be admitted to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).Choosing to work with a doula is more than just an extra set of hands. It's an investment in your health, your baby's well-being, and your overall birth experience.

About

Hi! I'm Cheryl Ann...Baby lover, hugger, homeschooling mother of 4 - your Mama Bear & encourager.After cherishing an era of stay-at-home momming, running a locally renowned cafe with my husband thru the COVID era while homeschooling, & watching my babies growing into incredible young people - I am now in my forties & somehow just now discovering that I've been a Birth Doula at heart all along the way!I want to see new parents welcome their new season of family life together feeling empowered, respected, & championed. I want to build more stories of transformative, powerfully peaceful births, & lessen the times that new parents leave struggling through trauma, confusion, or regret.I want to give new parents the opportunity to identify their values when it comes to the vulnerable & intimate process of birth. We will honor your values with intentional preparation in nutrition, education, & mindset work together. I'd be honored to serve you.text (512) 771 6068

"(Cheryl) is the sweetest, most caring human I have ever met. Anytime I have a question, she gets back to me with an answer within 24 hours. I had a scare and needed an ER visit at 20 weeks and she met me there and stayed at my side for 5 HOURS. Her level of commitment and care is exceptional. I had a different doula with my last pregnancy so I do have something to compare services to, and Cheryl is way superior. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone."
