Your Birth.
Confident, Empowered, & Supported.
Triangle area birth doulas committed to supporting your pregnancy, labor, birth, and transition to postpartum life.
Our approach.
Supporting locations across Durham, Chapel Hill, & Raleigh, our passion as birth doulas is to support your pregnancy & birth through information, advocacy, encouragement, and hands-on labor support.
During pregnancy, you’ll meet with your birth doula to get to know each other, discuss birth plans, ask questions, and review comfort measures. Once labor begins, your doula will stay with you throughout labor, birth, and the early postpartum period. We want you and any loved one supporting you to feel confident, empowered, and supported, no matter how you envision or experience your birth.
We’ve come together after meeting as volunteer doulas to bring our interest and love for birth to the Triangle and surrounding communities. As a small collective, we each work with clients individually, but provide on-call backup support for each other to ensure you have support no matter what.
We look forward to meeting you as you prepare to meet your newest addition!
Our Services & Fees
We provide comprehensive birth doula services including:
Complimentary meet & greet
Prenatal visits & meet-ups (1-2 visits)
Text & email support
24/7 on-call doula support from 38 weeks through birth
Full labor & birth support (including labor at home, if needed)
Support in the first 1-2 hours after birth, including feeding support
Postpartum connection & guidance (1-2 visits)
At this time, we each serve primarily as birth doulas. We may be able to provide additional postpartum support on a case-by-case basis.
If you are considering a home birth, please discuss this with your doula in the initial meeting. Our doulas do not attend home births that are not attended by a licensed medical provider.
Our fee for doula services ranges from $1000 to $1500.
Each doula in our collective believes cost should not be a barrier to doula support. If the above fee is prohibitive, please reach out and a doula may be able to provide support for a lower fee or connect you with other services.
