Cleveland Doulas & Birth Support

Meet Our Birth Doulas

Birth is a powerful, transformative experience, and the birth doula’s role is to lovingly guide you (and your partner!) through your labor and delivery. You’ll be matched with one of our certified Birth Doulas, who will provide evidence-based information and a non-judgmental sounding board as you create your birth preference plan.

During labor, your Birth Doula will be in the labor room to offer physical and emotional comfort measures for the birthing parent, as well as supportive tips for the partner. We support hospital, birth center, and home births.
