Build My Confidence by Adding Skilled Labor Support to My Birth Team

Looking for an additional set of hands, a caring heart and a voice of calmness and reassurance in your labor? Want someone to support your partner and teach them tried and true techniques to help you through labor? Want someone who brings years of experience, a toolbag of labor support items with an equal number of creative ideas to deal with situations that pop up during labor? Want to clarify your priorities and preferences for your birth with someone who listens and problem solves? Want a breastfeeding expert there from the moment your baby is placed on your chest and you begin the journey of breastfeeding? Wouldn’t it be helpful to get to know your doula before the birth and then know she will visit to help with the transition to life with a baby in your home?

Teri has been a doula for over 20 years. She has supported families during hospital, freestanding birth centers and home births. She also trains birth doulas at the Simkin Center of Allied Birth Vocations at Bastyr University. Teri is an IBCLC lactation consultant.  She is a certified doula with DONA International.
