Adding a doula to your birth team has shown to reduce the length of labour, reduce likelihood of caesarian, reduce the use of pain medication and increase feelings of satisfaction with your birth experience.
We are not currently providing doula support through Journey of Birth as we've put all our focus into our prenatal and baby care classes, our parenting support and our breastfeeding support.
We've spent the last while building a collaboration with Harbour City Doulas in Nanaimo and we're very happy to promote their excellent services and we hear great feedback from new families about their support. Please consider contacting our friends at Harbour City Doulas to explore their well-regarded doula services in the Nanaimo area.
Adding a professional support person to your birth team is a very personal choice. We encourage you to interview doulas ahead of time to find out more about their services and supports and find the right fit for you.
