CONGRATULATION
As your doula, Denise supports you/partner throughoutyour baby's birth and beyond. A mother who has a doula during her pregnancy and birth is more likely to bond well with her baby, recover from her pregnancy/birth faster, and approach motherhood with a more positive attitude of support. A father who is supported by a birth doula participates in the labor and birth easier with confidence. Education, Advocacy, Support and Empowerment = EASE!
