The word ‘Doula’ means ‘woman servant’ in Greek.
If a Doula could say one thing it would be, “what can I do for you?”
Here is how we serve.

Postpartum Healing
Your Doula will help you ease into the postpartum period by educating you on self-care, recognizing concerning physical/emotional experiences, debriefing your birth story, and much more.
Breastfeeding Support
Your Doula will evaluate your latch, develop a breastfeeding routine, develop milk supply, learn about pumping, and address any obstacles that come up on your journey.
Newborn Care Education
Your Doula will help you learn how to swaddle, soothe, bathe and diaper. She will help you learn your baby's cues and other tools to give you confidence in taking care of your little one!
Additional services available: lactation counseling, mental health counseling, sleep training, and more at an additional cost.

“Every mom needs a doula!! Bailey was truly incredible throughout my entire pregnancy and birth experience. She made me feel supported, informed, and completely at ease. Working with Bailey and the Birth Companions was so easy for me, the admin did a great job filing claims with insurance and everything was taken care of.”

“TBC was by far the most responsive of all the agencies and had the most doula matches for us. After several conversations with different doulas, we found our amazing doula, Jessica Larsen. TBC handled all billing/reimbursements for us through Kaiser which was a huge relief.”

“Bailey helped me and my husband prepare for unmedicated birth. She told us what to expect, taught us comfort measures, gave me exercises to prepare my mind and body. My labour was quick but thanks to our sessions, we were prepared for every step of it.”

“Choosing Bailey as our doula was the best decision. She gave us clear, easy-to-understand information so we knew what to expect. During the delivery, she was a calm and steady person in the room and knew exactly how to help me feel better.”

“We worked with Mackinzie and we are so appreciative of her! She was communicative and patient with all of our questions. During my delivery, my baby arrived weeks early and Mackinzie really helped ease my worries. It felt like a bonus that she's a lactation specialist!”
