Register for Meet the Doulas Workshop.

Join new and expectant parents to learn about the benefits of birth and postpartum doula services. You'll receive an overview of what doulas do, the benefits of doula services, how dads/partners and doulas work together, and how to find the right doula for you. Birth and postpartum doulas will be available to answer your questions. Time will also be provided for parents to meet individual doulas in 'get acquainted' interviews.

Benefits of working with a birth or postpartum doula include:

• 60% reduction in the rate of epidural use

• 50% reduction in cesarean rates

• 40% reduction in the need for forceps

• 25% reduction in the length of labor

• higher breastfeeding rates

• more opportunity to spend time bonding with baby

• easier transition into parenthood

Yoga at Change offers Meet the Doulas Night as a community service and does not endorse any particular doula.
