Doula and Birth Education Services:

  • Birth Education Classes: Our Birth Education is a 3-class series that equips families with healthy birth practices, coping skills, and newborn/postpartum care for a confident start to parenthood.

  • Birth Doula Support: Continuous presence with our birth doulas during labor, providing comfort measures, advocacy, and reassurance.

  • Postpartum Doula Support: Daily and overnight assistance with breastfeeding, newborn care education, rest, emotional support in a comfortable setting.

  • Bereavement Support: Compassionate care for mothers experiencing pregnancy or infant loss.

  • Sponsorship of Home Birth:

    We believe every mother deserves the freedom to choose a safe, nurturing place to give birth. Through our Home Birth Sponsorship Program, qualifying families can receive financial support toward a healthy, midwife-assisted home birth. This program includes perinatal screenings, professional midwifery care, and postpartum follow-up to ensure both mom and baby thrive. By removing financial barriers, we hope to give more women the opportunity to experience birth in the comfort of home—surrounded by dignity, safety, and love.
