While doulas can seem expensive and require a financial investment, when we market ourselves as a luxury, we overlook our immense benefit. Sure, it sounds luxurious to have extra support. However, given how important birth is and the climate of modern maternity care, doulas are invaluable.

As doulas, we provide invaluable:

💙 Emotional support
💙 Physical Support
💙 Education
💙 Support in informed decision making.
💙 Evidence-based support
💙 Prenatal and postpartum support
💙 Practical support

And more! Research shows that continuous labor support, like that of a professional doula, reduces the risk of c-section and other interventions. Continuous labor support increases the likelihood of a positive birth experience as well.

We cannot promise specific birth scenarios and outcomes. However, we can promise continuous, empowering support to help clients feel cared for regardless of how birth unfolds.

During Black History Month, it's important to acknowledge the lasting impact of the erasure of Black and Indigenous midwifery and how it directly impacts birth outcomes today.

Black midwives welcomed and saved countless lives in the US. The systematic erasure of a huge part of Black midwifery was and remains devastating.

We need more midwives overall, but we also need more Black midwives in the US.

Doulas do not replace midwives. Doulas do not lessen the need for more midwives. But doulas can positively impact the birthing experience for each family they serve despite these broken systems.

This article covers a bit of how Black doulas can improve birth experiences for growing Black families.

This is God’s business! I’m just the vessel that gets to love on all those around me with the gift He’s blessed me with. Don’t come for me. Talk to God!
