supporting women and their families during childbirth
"We have a secret in our culture and it's not that birth is painful,it's that women are strong."- Laura Stavoe Harm
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide women with continuous doula support during childbirth. We are committed to serving women and their families who are unable to pay for doula care.
Quotes from our Doulas:
"One of the things I have learned from being a doula is that the power of believing in the woman and facilitating her self-confidence is perhaps the most crucial skill I will ever have."
"I learn something new at every birth. It is truly an honor to doula; to support with simple compassion and presence, and witness the strength of women and the miracle of birth."
