Epidural birth support
Planning an epidural? You can still have a doula.
A lot of people assume doulas are only for unmedicated births. Not true. Labor doesn't stop being long, emotional, or confusing once you get an epidural. I'm there for the hours before it, the decisions around it, and everything after.
How I help
Before the epidural
Comfort measures and coping support in early and active labor.
Understanding your options
Help with the questions to ask so you can make the call that feels right.
After the epidural
Position changes in bed with your care team's guidance, reassurance, and keeping things calm.
Emotional support
Long labors are tiring even without pain. Having a steady person around matters.
Who this is a good fit for

Common questions
Do I need a doula if I'm getting an epidural?
You don't need one, but many people find continuous support helpful before and after an epidural. Labor still involves waiting, decisions, and big feelings.
Will you judge me for getting an epidural?
Not even a little. My job is to support the birth you want.
Doula support is non-medical. I don't diagnose, prescribe, or replace your medical team. I help you feel prepared, comfortable, and heard.
