Birth Doula

As a doula, I accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I have received education for the doula’s role from Blossom Birth Services, and draw on the experience of giving birth to three daughters. I draw on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort, and, as needed, communication with the staff to make sure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions as they arise in labor. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, making suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning, and other techniques for comfort. I am independent and self-employed. As your doula, I am working for you, not your care giver or hospital.

Testimonals

from Dr. Jan Rydfors: Eva has assisted over 30 births with me and I consider her to be one of the best birth assistants (doulas) in the Bay Area. My patients have found her presence and guidance before, during and after the labor and delivery to be very important in the birth experience of their baby. I highly recommend her to any couple who is looking for an experienced and great doula. She is dedicated, compassiomate and very nice!
