Thank you so much for your flexibility in providing doula services. I know I scheduled late and then changed my mind some, and yet it wasn't a problem. I will recommend Birthways to all my friends who are expecting!

Daytime Support Image

[Our doula] was amazing and supportive. Not sure how I would have managed without her help. She only came twice a week but knowing she was coming gave me sanity.  She was so helpful at answering my questions that came up and helping with [our son] who was colickyish.

Common Questions

On Call Image

From the very first contact [my husband] felt understood, as we were in crisis mode. Really outstanding services. Thank you so much to the Birthways ladies. We so appreciate your help during a particularly difficult time.

Senior Level Doulas

Your senior level doula:

Has attended at least 25 births.  Because she works closely in a group and learns from the experiences of others, she also has the collective wisdom of more than 1,000 births.

I can’t thank [our doula] enough for helping our family welcome our daughter.  She helped me and my husband through a fast-moving labor, and helped us get to the hospital just in the nick of time.  She was excellent when it came to using massage techniques to relieve my pain during contractions.
