Doula?
What is a
A birth doula is a professional who has been trained in childbirth to offer physical comfort, emotional support, educational guidance, and nonclinical advice to expectant mothers, those in labor, and those who have already given birth. The goal of a doula is to ensure that women have a memorable, empowering, and safe birthing experience. In addition to providing comfort, a doula also provides reassurance, and in some cases, advocacy for the mother.
Physical Well-being
Mental Support
Grief and Loss Support
Physical well-being during pregnancy is vital for the health of both the mother and the developing baby. Maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet, engaging in regular physical activity appropriate for pregnancy, and attending routine prenatal check-ups. These practices help support healthy weight gain, reduce the risk of complications, and prepare the body for labor and delivery
Mental support during and after childbirth is essential for the well-being of both the mother and child. A trained doula can provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor and delivery, offering comfort measures, reassurance, and advocacy as well as the weeks following childbirth.
Grief and loss support provides compassionate care and resources for individuals navigating the complex emotions that accompany loss. Whether the loss is due to the death of a loved one, miscarriage, or another significant life event, grief support aims to help individuals process their emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
Kind Words
Samantha was a god send for me. The way she came right to my home, no questions asked was a blessing from god! I don’t think I would have been able to do the first few hours without her.

I reached out to Samantha because I was going to be alone after my third baby. She included my two younger children with helping take care of their baby sister. After everything that I have been through this year, just knowing Samantha was always just a call or text away made me feel all the better. I am so grateful for the help that she has provided for me and my children.
-Eliana D.
I am so happy I made the decision to use a doula for my pregnancy this time around. What a difference in the experience. I 100% would recommend Samantha as a doula. Not only is she so so knowledgeable, I have gained a friendship I will cherish forever.
