How Doula Services Make a Difference
The right support during birth can make all the difference in how you feel, how you cope, and how you remember your birth. My doula services are tailored to support you and your partner, providing guidance, comfort, and reassurance from start to finish:
Personalized Prenatal Support
I am available by phone or email throughout your pregnancy. I’m like your own personal Google. We’ll meet in the weeks leading up to your birth to create a plan that fits your unique preferences. Whether you’re aiming for an unmedicated birth, using pain relief options, or anything in between, I’ll help you feel informed and confident about your choices. We’ll also go over comfort techniques, mental preparation, and strategies to ensure your birth day is as calm and joyful as possible.
Continuous Support on Your Birth Day
When the day comes to meet your baby, I’ll be there to support both you and your partner throughout the entire journey. Whether offering encouragement, emotional reassurance, or hands-on comfort measures, I’ll help you navigate each phase of labor with confidence. My role is to support you physically, emotionally, and mentally while also ensuring your partner feels included and able to support you. Together, we’ll create a calm, positive, and memorable birth experience.
Postpartum Care & Transition
After birth, I’ll stay by your side during those precious first hours to ensure you feel comfortable and cared for as you transition into parenthood. I can assist with your immediate postpartum needs, provide help with breastfeeding, and helping you navigate the emotional and physical adjustments. I will continue to offer phone support for any questions that arise and a postpartum visit at home to check on your recovery, provide additional resources, and support your family.
How It Works
I believe that birth should be an amazing experience, and I’m here to help make that a reality. Here’s how we’ll get there together:
→ Book a Free Consultation
We’ll start with a relaxed, no-obligation conversation to talk about your birth preferences and how I can best support you. This can be an in-person meet up or a Zoom call. I want to make sure that we are the right fit for each other.
→ Create Your Customized Birth Plan
We’ll meet before your due date to go over your options, preferences, and any concerns. Together, we’ll develop a plan that reflects your goals for labor and delivery.
→ Receive Ongoing Support Throughout Your Journey
From the moment you hire me until your baby is in your arms, I’ll be by your side to offer continuous support, ensuring you feel informed, prepared, and empowered every step of the way.
Words From Happy Families
“Hollie was the best doula we could have asked for! I was very nervous, unsure and overwhelmed with information at times since this was my first child but she was so informative and by the time my due date came I felt confident and ready. She is always just a call a way for any questions you have before or after the birth. She was so great during the labor and supportive of any decision you and your partner make. Thank you Hollie! We couldn’t have imagined our birth experience without you.” -Brianna
“It is because of Hollie that I now recommend a doula to every couple. She was my amazing doula for my son’s birth. Patient, loving, and supportive, Hollie is intuitive and great at gauging my needs during labor and delivery. She was also a great coach for my husband, and really helped to make him feel confident in supporting me during the delivery— which ultimately strengthened our connection as I delivered our son. Thank you, Hollie. You rock!!!” -Lynn
“We loved having Hollie as our Doula! This was my second baby and I was hoping to have another natural un-medicated hospital birth. I loved having a second support person in the delivery room who knew exactly how to help me manage my pain and talk me through things. It was especially helpful when I went into labor on a Sunday and my regular OB wasn’t there and I had the OB on call. Having my husband and Hollie there helped me keep calm and focused. I got to have the birth I wanted and it was a beautiful experience I will never forget!” -Meredith

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a birth doula?
A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
What are the benefits of having a birth doula?
Studies have shown that having a birth doula can lead to shorter labors, fewer complications, reduced need for interventions, and a more positive birth experience.
How does a birth doula support me during labor?
A birth doula provides continuous support through techniques such as breathing exercises, massage, positioning suggestions, and emotional reassurance. She also helps communicate your birth plan to the medical team.
When should I hire a birth doula?
It’s best to hire a birth doula early in your pregnancy, but it’s never too late to find support! Hiring a doula earlier in your pregnancy gives you time to build a relationship and feel comfortable with their support.
Will a doula replace my partner during birth?
Not at all! My role is to support both you and your partner. I help your partner feel confident and equipped to assist you during labor without the stress of having to remember all of the comfort measures, labor positions, etc. Together, we create a strong support team so everyone feels included and empowered.
How do I choose the right doula for me?
Choosing the right doula involves meeting with several candidates, asking about their experience and philosophy, and ensuring you feel comfortable and supported by them.
Do you support home births, birth centers, and hospitals?
Absolutely! Whether you’re birthing in a hospital, at home, or in a birth center, I’m there for you. Wherever you’re most comfortable, I’ll meet you there.
Will you be there for the entire labor?
Absolutely! Here’s how it works: I want to know when you’re in labor so I can provide support over the phone during early labor. This is a time for you and your partner to connect, rest, and enjoy each other’s company—you don’t want me there too early! As labor progresses and you feel you need more support, I’ll join you and stay by your side for the rest of your labor and postpartum, whether it’s fast and furious or a marathon.
