There is an innate wisdom in each woman that knows how to give birth. It is empowering for the birthing woman to be in the moment, to be present in the so-called "labor land". -Regina Roy

What is a doula?
Doula (/ˈduːlə/)
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
Benefits of a doula
Studies have shown that women who have a doula during childbirth encounter increased satisfaction in their birth experience. It not only improves the maternal – infant bond, but also decreases the incidents of complications. C-section instances can be tremendously reduced, a successful journey of breastfeeding is enhanced, and the self-esteem of the mother is strengthened. Risk of postpartum depression can also be diminished.

Client
"Regina was an incredible support throughout every step of my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I couldn’t imagine having done it without her! The moment she arrived during my labor my husband and I both breathed a sigh of relief, her presence was exactly what we needed and we knew we were in the best hands to help us guide our baby boy into the world. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, coupled with her beautifully calm and supportive energy. Regina’s passion for birth-work is evident in everything she does!"
Rachael K.
Client
"Regina was absolutely incredible. We didn't realize how much of labor happens before being admitted to a birthing center. Regina educated us with the information we needed, exactly when we needed it. During labor, she helped my wife remain in her power and reassured us that everything we were experiencing was normal and expected. Most importantly, Regina knew when it was time to go to the birthing center. Without Regina, we would have headed in too early, and probably been sent home. Regina was a big part of our natural delivery and we can't imagine getting through it without her. We're so glad we chose to work with Regina and know you will be too!"

"Upon our first meeting, my husband and I fell in love with her. Her energy is so loving, honest, and pure. We loved having Regina come over prebirth to chat and prepare. But, I realized what a BLESSING it was to have Regina when I went into labor. Regina was always checking in on me via phone or in person during early labor and telling me to rest. She made me feel secure in my choices when my family started making me doubt myself. Regina could tell by my moans and contractions what position I should try next, where to give me counter pressure or massage where I needed relief, or simply would give me a loving look so I knew everything is ok. She was with us while I labored at home for hours, then for 12 more hours at the birth center as I labored through the night. Labor was taking way longer than what I thought birth look like and thank God for Regina constantly reassuring me that ‘this is normal’, ‘you’re doing beautifully’, and ‘you got this mama’. I loved my midwife and trusted her expertise in the physical process of birth, but Regina was there holding me through the emotional and spiritual process of birth.
