Gentle Hands Doula Services Rebecca Dundore, CLD DUE TO FAMILY NEEDS I AM NOT WORKING AS A DOULA CURRENTLY! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LOOK OVER THE WEB SITE AND GATHER INFORMATION - I AM GLAD TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY NEW CLIENTS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT YEAR: 11/09
Having a doula is like hiring an experienced guide to walk you through the maze of childbirth. Labor support is far more than having someone to hold your hand and tell you to breathe. A doula combines her own nurturing nature with extensive training - based on proven techniques. When you hire a doula you are bringing in a wealth in information and compassion, and the focus is entirely on you and your needs. 
A doula is not a nurse or midwife, her job is purely one of emotional support and non-medical physical support. But the results of having a doula are amazing...because a doula can significantly impact the medical outcome of a birth! For more on that, look at the FAQ's & Benefits pages.
The birth of your baby is a priceless piece of time. It will be one of the most defining memories of your life. You'll still be telling it with detailed memory when you're 70 years old. Experience a better birth with a doula by your side!
