Do you have any final thoughts to share?

Birthing is natural and regardless of how the baby comes out, it needs to be recognized as such. That childbirth itself is a natural process and allow a woman’s body to do what it was made to do. And a doula can help you do that.

It is our strong belief, as Accessible Doula Services, our strong belief is that every woman deserves a doula. No matter who they are, no matter where they’re from, no matter what their income is, no matter what their background is, no matter who they’re married to, who they’re not married to, no matter what their age is, every woman deserves a doula.

My last thought is that a doula is truly invaluable. In the world that we live in, high paced, fast, high tech delivery system, the doula, it’s a human touch that brings us all back to where we all started. Doulas rock.

What’s my tag line? Um, a crib - 150 dollars. Decorating the room in Winnie the Pooh - 300 - 400 dollars. Having a doula and experiencing the birth that you desire, priceless.
