The benefits of having a doula are numerous, but when you add a second set of healing hands, it can make all the difference.

You have the benefit of double the knowledge.

Having a second doula is the PERFECT option for a mom who needs a little extra support or would like birth photography. A single doula is focused so much on mom, that she is unable to take pictures during the birth. When you hire a second doula you get the benefit of double the support, but with a great birth photographer. We specialize in birth, and the photos we can get our priceless.

You have the benefit of having someone focus on your physically as well as mentally (Birth is not just physical, it is emotional and mental as well. When you have a team of experienced doulas, you get the benefit of physical comfort, and emotional support at the same time.)

Doulas aren't just for moms, most partners say that the Doula was an invaluable part of the birth experience for them as well. The Doula helps the partner know how to help the birthing mother; thus building confidence. (see Dads and Doulas link below)

Often, the mother needs the partner and one doula doing a comfort measure, and the other doula keeping her mentally focused.

Every mother who has chosen to have 2 doulas present has said what a difference it made to have so many people helping her through the birth process.

This is also an excellent option if your support person is unable to be with you.
