Doulas provide educational, emotional and physical support for families during pregnancy and birth. Using relaxation techniques such as massage, touch, aromatherapy, visualization, optimal positioning, and breathing patterns, doulas are supportive during both medicated and unmedicated births. Doulas do not replace a birth partner but rather assist you in having the birth experience you desire. 

9th Avenue Doulas are trained in Hypnobirthing and Spinning Babies techniques. All 9th Avenue Doulas provide support during Cesarean births in the operating room at Rose Medical Center.
