Doula Services

In-person & virtual doula support in Boca Raton.

What is a birth doula?

A birth doula is a knowledgeable and nurturing support person who is by your side throughout labor and birth, offering continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. Unlike a medical provider, a doula doesn’t perform clinical tasks but instead focuses on your comfort and confidence. They help you navigate your birth preferences, provide hands-on comfort measures like massage and position changes, and offer encouragement to help you feel empowered every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a medicated or unmedicated birth, at a hospital, birth center, or home, a doula is there to ensure you feel supported and heard.

Text promoting doula support during birth.

During labor, a birth doula is your steady, calming presence, helping you and your partner stay grounded through each contraction. They offer reassurance, advocate for your wishes, and help create a peaceful birth environment. With their guidance and care, you can approach birth feeling informed, nurtured, and confident in your ability to bring your baby into the world.

What is the difference between an in-person doula and a virtual doula?

An in-person doula provides hands-on support during labor, offering physical comfort measures like massage, counter-pressure, and position changes, while also creating a calming environment tailored to your needs. They are right there with you—whether at home, a birth center, or a hospital—offering continuous encouragement and guidance to help you feel confident and supported in the moment.

A virtual doula provides the same compassionate guidance but through video calls, messaging, and online support. They help you prepare for birth, talk through your options, and offer real-time coaching during labor. While they can’t offer physical touch, they empower you and your birth partner with knowledge, reassurance, and techniques to navigate labor with confidence.
