| Many variables affect the birth of a baby: the parents' values and priorities, their preparation for labor, the mother's health, and their practitioner's guidance. My goal as a counselor and doula is to support a woman and her partner so that they feel knowledgeable, safe, and cared for. That way, during pregnancy, labor, and birth, women can make choices, manage stress, and harness their strength and inner resources to bring a baby into the world -- regardless of how the birth unfolds. Afterwards, that support for the healing mother, her newborn, and her partner remains critical as they begin finding their rhythm together as a family. A Mom Is Born provides services for all stages of new motherhood. Please follow the links above to learn about these services. Packages are available -- and encouraged! -- for those who would like nurturing care and support for the whole of their journey. Congratulations on the road ahead! |

If you are interested in any of the services A Mom Is Born offers, please email Maria for a referral to other doulas, counselors, new mom groups, and yoga classes in Boston. A Mom Is Born expects to begin New Moms Groups again in spring of '09. |
