A doula provides continual support to the mother and her partner during labor. This support has been shown to shorten labor, reduce the need for interventions (such as labor augmentation medication), and reduce the need for cesareans.*

Darcy is a DONA-trained doula working toward certification. She provides the following services:

• 2 pre-natal consultations (excluding our initial consultation which is provided free of charge)
• availability to answer questions by phone or e-mail from the time of initial consultation through the newborn period
• on call 24/7 for labor and birth starting at 36 weeks **
• help writing a birth plan
• continuous labor support from the time active labor starts until you are ready to rest with your new baby
• help initiating and establishing breastfeeding
• 2 post-partum visits

Darcy is currently taking doula clients for a reduced fee while working toward certification. Please contact me to set up a free consultation to discuss your family's needs and her services.
