Sibling Doula
What is a Sibling Doula?
More than a babysitter for your older children during labor and birth, a sibling doula provides emotional support and care to your older children, at the hospital or birth center, while you are in labor and birthing their new sibling(s). Support is age appropriate and according to the parent’s preferences. For more information, please contact me to set up a consultation.
