"However much we know about birth in general, we know nothing about a particular birth. We must let it unfold with its own uniqueness." - Elizabeth Noble

Welcome to Artistic Birth Doula Services where you are the creator of your birth experience.  Your pregnancy and childbirth are events that you will remember for a lifetime and you will replay the memories over and over again.  Now is the time to prepare your vision and do everything you can to make them what you hope to remember.  When you know your choices, you have options.  This is where a Doula is beneficial.  She is trained to provide evidence based and unbiased information so that you have the facts to make decisions.

Pregnancy and childbirth are a beautiful, yet uncertain, time in life.  This is true whether this is your first baby or your tenth.  You may not know where to start or even what you should be looking for.  You may be fearful and seek guidance.  You may know exactly what you want but are unsure how to get it.  You may just be looking for extra support.

I believe that all parents are entitled to and deserve to have complete, caring , and continuous support in regards to the type and the setting of birth they choose.  Whether you choose medicated or un-medicated, hospital or home, I support your choices.

I highly recommend reading The Doula Advantage by Rachel Gurevich if you would like further information from parents who have had a Doula present at their birth.

If you are in Illinois, live in the Chicagoland area, and are considering a Doula, you may be wondering how she can be beneficial to you and your partner.  Please have a look around and contact me if you would like to speak further.  I look forward to talking with you!
