Doula and Education service in Metro Atlanta.
Dedicated to empowering birthing families through evidence-based education, communication, physical and emotional support, and advocacy.
A doula’s goal is to:
- Empower birthing families to be centered in their birth story and care
- Build trust between a person’s body and their labor
- Provide full physical and emotional support during labor, birth, and immediately post-partum
- Educate on birth options and potential medical interventions
- Equip partners to be as involved as they are comfortable
- Facilitate communication between medical staff and the birthing family
- Practice pain relief measures
- Help navigate the medical labor and delivery system in Metro Atlanta
Doula-supported labors are:
28% less likely to have a cesarean section
31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin) to speed up labor
9% less likely to use any pain medication
34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience negatively
Doulas fill the gaping void in perinatal care between growing families and the standard healthcare system, creating a safer and more supported birth.
Alycia is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for pregnant persons of any age, religion, race, sexual identity, gender identity or relationship status.
