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.

  • Extended Overnight Doula Support:

    At Selah’s Red Tent, we offer a nurturing Overnight Postpartum Doula Program for mothers who have no one to help after giving birth. Here, moms receive 24-hour care and support in a peaceful home setting for up to five days of rest and recovery. Our doulas provide hands-on guidance in newborn care, healthy feeding and sleeping routines, and lactation support—while ensuring mom feels pampered with nourishing meals, soothing foot massages, and relaxing bubble baths. Each mother stays in a private or semi-private room, surrounded by care, comfort, and love. Visitors are welcome during scheduled hours, making this a truly restorative “lie-in” experience where every mom is treated like a queen.
