Congratulations on seeking out the professional doula support that you desire! Birthing your baby the way that feels best for you, with exceptional support and a well designed plan can significantly improve your experience, and help shape your feelings about your birth.

At First Class Doulas, we believe that you are entitled to a first class birth experience. One that prioritizes your physical and emotional well-being while enabling you to feel honored and revered during the process.

We recognize that your care providers are responsible for your physical health and safety and that of your baby’s, but that doesn’t always equate to you feeling seen and heard throughout labor and birth… and… we want that for you. We know that it makes a difference.

Whether you’ve chosen a hospital birth or a home birth, having a First Class Doula by your side will provide you with an indispensable support system that can significantly enhance your experience.

Hospital birth with
First Class Doulas

Inviting a First Class Doula to support your hospital birth essentially says that you want the security of a medical provider AND the comfort of a doula. It’s almost like bringing the feeling of “home” to the hospital with you!

Think of your First Class Doula as a bridge between the clinical environment and your personal needs and preferences. Your doula will bring continuous emotional support, real-time physical comfort measures, and detailed explanations of all things that arise to eliminate fear and enable confidence and empowerment.

In this setting, your First Class Doula’s role is multifaceted, coupling emotional and physical support with practical assistance. Your doula will work closely with your  midwife and their assistant to ensure that you maintain comfort and confidence throughout your labor, birth, and the early postpartum hours.

While preserving a serene and reassuring environment, your doula will be by your side every step of the way tailoring their support to your individual needs. This high level of professional doula support can significantly reduce your perception of pain and anxiety as well as improve your overall satisfaction with the experience.

The presence of a doula has been consistently associated with improved maternal outcomes.

Studies have shown that those who have the continuous support of a doula are more likely to have a shorter labor, and a lower rate of medical interventions. 

First Class Doulas are highly skilled, carefully vetted support professionals. As a team, we are committed to providing an exceptional level of care that empowers birthing families and enables informed decision making and the feeling of being in control during birth.

Placenta Encapsulation for Consumption

Placenta encapsulation is the practice of dehydrating the placenta post birth, crushing it into powder form and placing it into gel capsules for consumption. This practice is believed to offer health advantages, such as improved postpartum recovery, increased energy levels, and enhanced mood stability due to the hormones and nutrients retained in the placenta.
