Rebecca Smoochy

Doula Services

(123) 456-7890
smoochy4life@gmail.com



My services include:

• 2 prenatal home visits.
• Assistance with birth plans and birth options.
• Phone contact during pregnancy and after the birth.
• Continuous support through labor and delivery.
• A home visit after the birth.
• Photos of birth and newborn baby if you desire.
• A detailed chronological birth log.
• Lactation Support (within my scope of practice)

Childbirth is one of the most profound and intimate events in a woman’s life. A woman’s memory of childbirth is often deeply imprinted within her; and can have a profound effect on the way she views herself as a mother. It is my commitment as a doula to ensure that each mother and her partner are fully supported and cared for during this critical and formative moment. As your doula I will work to offer you physical comfort, emotional support, and to help you find your own voice in labor. This is the birth of your child! My purpose is to help facilitate your goals. I believe in your choices, and will help you gather information about the course of your labor and your options. It is my goal to provide safe, nurturing, and continuous care for my client and her partner to ensure the best possible outcome of their birth.

WOW, congratulations. That's so very exciting!! You'll do great and I'm sure clients will be lining up to have you as their doula.

Can I offer a teensy weensy bit of advice? You will not believe how busy you'll be during the birth. I found it almost impossible to write anything during my births except essential things like times and dosage of medicines such as Pitocin and/or IV antibiotics.

Hell, I could hardly find time to pee most of the time.

A record of the birth, while undoubtedly appealing to a client, might overtax you and take your attention away from your client.

Just my .o2. Please feel free to ignore. I look forward to reading about your first birth experience!
