About
Birthing Layers Doula Services was created to holistically support families during all stages of Reproduction and Postpartum – from Fertility and Nutrition to Birth, Lactation, Postpartum, and Bereavement. Incorporating ancestral and evidence-based techniques, I educate and empower families to make the most of their birth journey.
What is a doula?
A doula is a trained support person who provides non-clinical support during a significant health-related experience, such as fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, bereavement, or nonreproductive experiences.
How can a Doula impact a birth?
According to Evidence Based Birth research, a doula can impact birth by:
-
Decrease risk of C-section by 39%
-
Reduce the use of pain medications by 10%
-
Shorten labor by 40 minutes on average
-
Decrease the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience

Why hire a doula?
Mothers who work with a doula tend to have more positive feelings about their birth and feel more secure and cared for. Some of the benefits of a doula to birthing mothers include:
-
Greater success with breastfeeding
-
Have less postpartum depression
-
Feel supported with adapting to new family dynamics
Doulas do not provide medical care, but they can offer guidance and support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth.
