Full-Spectrum Doula Support
From TTC to postpartum, and beyond, bringing tiny humans into this world is a whirlwind adventure. Alayla Birth is here to help you find you footing and navigate this experience with confidence and informed consent.
The reported benefits of hiring a doula include, but are not limited to the reduced likelihood of unwanted Cesareans, increased satisfaction with the birth and postpartum experience, reduced likelihood of developing postpartum mood disorders, increased success in lactation and chestfeeding, and in general, just feeling like a badass.
