Birth and Postpartum Doula

Birth Doula

A birth doula is your companion through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. Birth doulas offer emotional, educational, and physical support. Their role is to support your vision of birth and entrance into early parenthood in a non-medical capacity.

Sea to Sky Baby’s doulas support and attend births in all settings, home or hospital, and with your medical care provider of choice. Our doulas prioritize what makes you feel safe, empowered, seen, and heard. Their role is to offer you evidence based information on common pregnancy and birth topics, be a sounding board for your questions and inquiry, and do so without judgement and bias.

Services includes:

  • A free initial interview with one of Sea To Sky Baby’s doulas, wherein you can share your desires for your pregnancy and birth, get to know the doula a bit, ask questions, and see if the two of you align.

  • Minimum three 2-hour prenatal sessions, wherein the following topics will be discussed, but are not limited to;

    • what to expect during birth

    • pregnancy & birth options + evidence on benefits/risks

    • pregnancy + birth + postpartum fears & concerns

    • your vision / plan for your birth 

    • partner support & comfort measures 

    • community standard of care

    • informed choice and self advocacy
