Birth Star Doula Service provided by Bravenet.com

Hi my name is Arlina, as a birth doula and fellow woman I recognize childbirth as a key life experience that a mother will cherish and remember all of her life. I have committed myself to help women and their families embrace and treasure their birth experience by empowering them with knowledge, compassion, emotional, and physical support.

Childbirth is a very serious and emotional process that requires the utmost knowledge. As a birth doula I educate families about this process by aiding them in understanding the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman, pain management and medication, and how to handle the first days of taking care of a new baby. I also help women with special needs such as abuse, single mothers, c-sections, vbacs, multiples, older women, teens, diabetics, etc.

You wouldn't drive somewhere you've never been without directions or a map.....

Having a doula and taking a childbirth preperation class is like having a map to the unkown territory of childbirth. Even if you have been down the childbirth road before, each birth is a new experience with different obstacles and challenges, and a good doula will help you prepare for this.

As your family's birth doula I keep your best interest in mind and teach you how to recognize who does not. Unfortunately in obstetrics everyone has their own agenda and biases. The only way to recognize who is actually there to protect your interest is for you to become as informed about preganacy and birth as you can be. My goal is to help you achieve a positive birth experience by providing informative tools, classes and support......... Whatever you want and need is my ultimate priority.
