What Is A Doula?
The word DOULA comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves". In this case specifically during pregnancy, labor/delivery, and the postpartum period. It is a non-medical person who provides trained support to the birthing mother and those surrounding her (if they choose to have others present) through their journey into parenthood.

"She was an amazing asset to my birthing team, granted I learned about her services more than halfway through my pregnancy, but she still worked with me and was there every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, available, and very easy to talk to. She answered my questions to the best of her knowledge and had resources to back her up, and when she didn't know the answer she looked it up, told me and showed me where she found the answer. She was professional even in the most unprofessional circumstances. During labor and delivery she was there when I needed her. Talking me through and helping me get through the pains of contractions and the actual birth. Honestly if it wasn't for her help I wouldn't have been able to have a med free natural birth. Even with my fear of needles. I was comfortable, there was no added stress and she made sure I was safe. If I have another child I will be sure to call her again! ~ Angelia

"I am a very lucky person to know a woman who, not only is the most calming and compassionate person I've ever known, but she is an amazing doula. Her patience, supportive words, and all around giving personality make her an excellent doula. That is what you need when you are faced with one of the most painful, terrifying, exciting and joyful experiences of someone's life. Bringing another human into this world is HARD! But Krystal was there every step of the way with me during labor and gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself... And bring an amazing little girl into this world. I highly recommend her" ~Brittany
"I photographed a labor for some near and dear friends of mine, and Krystal happened to be their doula. A doula is a new concept to me, but now, more than ever, I understand why they are such a wonderful asset in the delivery room. She did whatever she needed to in order to make the Mom and Dad to be feel comfortable and supported, while somehow knowing exactly when to stand back and let them take over . She's such a genuine and kind person. it was a pleasure to stand beside her and see what she so clearly does best" ~Brittany Carver Photography
"She is an excellent Doula. I will use her again. She focused on exactly what I needed her to do. She kept excellent records that were really helpful when the hospital didn't have answers for me, like when I wondered how long I had been in labor Krystal had that information and the hospital was not sure. She was very helpful and supporting my husband as well and making him feel involved. She also helps me understand why they had to take the baby away because I wasn't able to think straight at that time. She also came with us and Walked the halls when I wasn't sure if it was labor yet and helped me cope with being sent home. Highly recommended!" ~Casey
