Studies show that when a trained doula attends a birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are
healthier and breastfeed more easily, and satisfaction with overall birth experience is higher. Abigail has been trained as a Birth Doula by DONA (Doulas of North America) and Birth Arts International and serves families in and around Baltimore, Maryland.
Birth Care Includes:
"Abi was very helpful to my husband while he was coaching me during labor. I was focused and "in the zone" during contractions and when it was time to push, she was very motivating and encouraging. I am forever grateful for the pictures she took immediately after my son was born. She stayed with us through labor, delivery, and did not leave until I felt comfortable enough to let her go. Abi was fantastic support for both myself and my husband. I would love to have her by my side again and I highly recommend her services as a doula. Thank you, Abi!" -Jill Viens
"I am so grateful that Abi was with us on our special day! She brought extra joy and love into the room and helped to make it safe and welcoming for my son's entry into the world. She reminded me I had the ability to breathe, and without this I don't know if I would have remained calm throughout the process" -SB
