Birth Doula in San Diego

Support for your birth journey

Doula comes from the Greek word, meaning, “to serve.” What an honor to serve a family during one of the most powerful and transformative times in their life. Doulas offer physical, emotional, and spiritual support to the laboring woman and her family. Through education, comfort measures, and by offering a calming presence, doulas can help the expectant family confidently take on the birth they desire.

Many scientific studies show that continuous labor support by a professional doula leads to lower invention rates, better outcomes for mothers and babies, and higher satisfaction rates with a family’s overall birth experience. Having a doula is invaluable in pregnancy and during your birth journey.

Doula services include

  • Continuous labor support through 1-2 hours past birth

  • Assistance with initial breastfeeding latch, if desired

  • Transportation of placenta, if desired

  • 1 In-Home postpartum visit (typically within 2 weeks after birth)

  • Access to my birth library and referral list

What clients are saying

  • One of the best experiences of my life. Emilie brings a balance to the whole experience. As a first time mom, I went into the process feeling so much peace and excitement...confident in my ability to birth a baby.

    Venessa

  • It was amazing to have someone to lean on and reach out to for support and recommendations during pregnancy. I ended up having a pretty long and difficult labor and it made the world of difference having Emilie there by our side through it all. She was such a calming presence and helped us process big decisions.

    Laura

  • We hired her as our doula and we can't recommend her enough! Having her there was invaluable, especially for my husband, and her presence provided much-needed support throughout our birth experience. She's the best!
