INFORMATION, EMOTIONAL, & PHYSICAL SUPPORT

The Doula Advantage

A birth doula is a labor support person who attends to a birthing family’s emotional and physical needs before and during labor and birth. A birth doula does not replace your medical caregiver (midwife or doctor) or your birthing companion, but rather helps that companion become involved in the birth to the extent that they feel comfortable and supports the birthing family through information access, resources, positions, comfort measures, and a general sense of security and confidence throughout the pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum period.   Continuous labor support has consistently been shown to improve birth outcomes. Pediatrician, researcher and co-founder of one of the world's most renowned doula training organizations, Dr. John Kennell once said “If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.”

Our doulas believe strongly that every family deserves to write their own birth story. Our doulas will help you understand all your birthing options, help you create the conditions and strategies most aligned with those preferences, and provide judgement-free support as you journey through pregnancy and birth together. 


Your doula relationship begins with a 45-minute virtual consultation where you can meet your doula, learn more about her background, and ask questions about our services. Next, you'll receive  our contract package by email. Just fill it out, pay your invoice, and you are a part of the Sunflowers family! From that point on, your doula will be available to help you navigate your pregnancy and birth journey.

The combination of hypnobirthing and doula support is powerful.

Your birth doula support services

Blissful Birthing Doula Package

Our Blissful Birthing Doula Package will set you up for success. Whether you choose to work with a senior or a junior doula, your doula package includes:

  • Access to our birth planning tools, MP3s, pregnancy articles, vetted complementary providers, and more
  • One virtual prenatal visit (around 34 weeks) to learn your expectations, desires, and fears, to define your birth preferences - about 2 hours
  • One in-person prenatal visit (around 37 weeks) to provide a TENS unit, and to demonstrate positions and comfort measures - about 1 hour
  • Meditation MP3 to help you prepare for your birth with confidence
  • Phone, video call, and email support throughout your pregnancy
  • On-call for your Birth Month (2 weeks before and after your estimated due date) 
  • Continuous support throughout your labor (at your home initially if desired, then at your birthing destination) and early postpartum for up to 24 hours (at which point an Overage Fee applies). Time begins upon arrival during labor and concludes with the birth of the baby, not when your doula leaves. Additionally, for labors extending beyond 24 hours, a back-up doula may be called in to ensure you continue to have the best doula support possible. For scheduled cesarean births, continuous support from the time you and your doula agree upon on your birthing day until approximately 2 hours after your birth.
  • Labor and/or birth photos with your camera, if you choose 
  • Newborn feeding support immediately after birth 
  • One postpartum visit in the first 6 weeks to review your birth and check in on your adjustment 
  • Unlimited phone, email and text support for the first six weeks after birth 
  • Referrals (lactation, pediatrics, acupuncture, chiropractic, midwives, obstetricians, etc.)

Because attending your birth is important, our doulas carefully balance on-call periods. Unless a personal/family emergency arises, you can count on your doula to be with you for your labor and birth. In those rare situations when she cannot attend, a back-up doula will be available.


Please contact us to inquire about availability during your birthing time. Even if it’s last minute, we may still be able to help you have the birth you desire.
