Experience

Today I was adding the numbers of births each labor doula in our group has done over the years. These were births where they offered labor support. And within our group I was totally amazed to figure out that we have more than 1000 births of experience. Experience is not the only reason to hire a doula. There are a lot of factors to consider: how you feel when you are around her, how vulnerable you feel you can be with her,  how your partner feels about her, and many more factors that are as individual as you are. But with our group you hire a doula or a team of doulas (Ladies of the Labyrinth), but you get the whole gamete of experience. Because when a doula is at a birth, she knows she can call any of the more experienced doulas in our group for insight and guidance in a situation with which she may not be familiar. I can guarantee you that there is no more experienced doula group in Atlanta than our group. I hope you will consider us when you are selecting someone to be guiding and supporting you in your labor!
