Frequently Asked Questions

We are trained companions who are there to support you and your family during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. 

We educate and share knowledge so that you are in the driver's seat of your birthing journey.  We share informational resources so that you can make informed decisions. 

We create space for you to feel listened to, confident, safe, and cared for. In addition to informational support, we provide physical and emotional support during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum period. We provide suggestions for labor positions, comfort measures during labor, and relaxation techniques. 

We are NOT medical professionals.
