Birth Doula Care

Our birth doulas help you create a sanctuary to labor and give birth, offering support, advocacy, and guidance through one of life’s most precious moments.

Whether you wish for a vaginal birth with or without medication, plan medical intervention, are having a planned or unplanned Cesarean birth or a vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC), we can support your unique journey.

Why work with a Birth Doula?

When a birth doula is present during and after childbirth, families:

  • Enjoy greater satisfaction with their birth experience

  • Tend to have shorter labors and spontaneous vaginal births

  • Use less pain medication

  • Tend to not need instrument delivery (forceps or vacuum extraction)

  • Are less likely to birth a baby with a low Apgar score or have a Cesarean birth

Birth is a delicate yet powerful place where the maiden crosses a threshold into motherhood. In most kin-based cultures around the world, a woman preparing for her birth knows that other experienced women will be there to guide, assist and encourage her and remind her that she IS powerful.

At your birth, we anticipate and respond to you and your family's changing needs throughout labor, birth and "the golden hour" immediately after birth. We provide suggestions and assistance to integrate an array of comfort measures focused on your physical and emotional well being.

With our loving guidance, we invite family members to participate with more confidence to nurture the mother's work and bond the new family. We serve you and your birth journey with care, respect, compassion and non-judgment.

What’s included in Sanctuary’s Birth Doula Care Package?

Our Birth Doula Care Packages include 2-3 prenatal visits, unlimited birth support, and 1 postpartum visit. Each pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is unique and needs may change throughout care. Our birth doulas are skilled in navigating these shifts and changes and will support you as you make decisions right for your family.

Sanctuary birth doulas provide professional, evidence-based care that nurtures and supports families as you welcome new life into your world.

We have varied and excellent options for birth doula support. We’ve found the best course to finding a good fit is to speaking directly with the birth doulas available for your due date to learn about their individual style and unique approach to birth doula support. Once you find your perfect match, we take care of the rest!
