Services
We absolutely love working as a team and our clients are excited to benefit from the expertise and experience of not one but TWO doulas! We don’t bring our own agendas to your birth. We have found that most women who hire doulas are planning for a natural birth, but we will gladly support you if you decide to utilize pain medications or if you are having a cesarean birth. Likewise, we absolutely love home and birth center births but will happily work at any Orange County hospital.
