Heather Stanley, Holistic Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula
A Doula provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a birthing family.  A Doula is a wise choice for any birth-- whether it is a hospital birth, a cesarean birth, or a home birth.  

As a Birth Doula:

*         I foster a close relationship with my birthing families by meeting monthly during the first 8 months of pregnancy, weekly thereafter.
*        I meet monthly to encourage our strong bond, encourage open dialogue, and help strengthen individual and family wellness, holistically.
*        I help a woman & her partner build their confidence so their birthing experience will be life enhancing & empowering.
*        I teach a woman how to build a pain-coping mindset, and I prepare her to give birth in awareness.
*        I mentor a woman’s discovery process of how to become a mother, not simply to be a patient.
*        I support a calm, curious, and receptive state of mind, unveiling each woman's innate wisdom in her own birth process.
*        I educate families about Health, Nutrition, Concerns, Fears, and anything else they may need during this transformational time.
*        I stay by the side of the laboring woman throughout the entire labor.
*        I provide comfort measures during the birth and assist with positions and Spinning Babies approaches that may work well.         
*        I encourage loving interaction and communication between all members of the laboring family and their healthcare providers.

​As a Portpartum Doula:

​*        ​I assist ​with self-care recovery, postpartum comfort measures, and information on parenting, feeding, and caring for baby.
​*        ​I provide ​emotional support (listening to your birth story, fears, frustrations, and concerns regarding your labor and recovery). 
*        ​I prepare nutritious, simple meals.
*        I care​ for the newborn or sibling so mom/dad can get some well-needed rest.
​*        I refer you to other professionals as needed to encourage success.
*        ​I show ​you ways to bathe, feed, and comfort baby, as well as cutting baby's nails, organizing nursery, home, etc.
*        I visit ​​your home prior to birth to discuss baby care, sibling preparation, child proofing, relaxing, etc.
​*        ​I support ​you and your family in many ways to feel successful, happy, nourished, and rested during this special time.
​*        ​I respect  you, your family, your home, and your parenting styles. 
​*        ​I aid ​in breastfeeding support and information/referrals as needed.  
​*        ​I offer​ many choices so you can choose what works for you and your family.
