Supporting women in their choices for childbirth, helping them grow in confidence during their pregnancy
and labor, and when bringing baby home. As doulas our goal
is to listen to families and show respect for their culture, ideas and
customs.
"Meet the Doula" Tea! Expectant families are encouraged to
come to our monthly Doula Tea to meet our Doulas in person so that they
can have a Q&A session in a relaxed setting with tea and light snacks.
Meet the Doula Teas are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month at
10AM at the Birth & Women's Health Center. The Birth & Women's
Health Center
is located at 2595 N. Wyatt Drive, just north of Grant Road on Wyatt
Drive. We hope to see you there!
With
gas prices hovering at $4 per gallon and rising, the cost of being
your doula has risen sharply in recent months. As you know, we
meet you at your home for prenatal visits, to help you labor and
then at the hospital or birthing center for the birth of your
baby, and finally at your home for the postpartum visit. But in
order to continue to offer these services to women in our
community, as of August 1st we are raising our prices as follows:
Assigned Birth Doula services $420
Private Doula services
$600
Postpartum services (hourly rate) $25
If you
have already contracted with Desert Doulas as of August 1st, 2008, we
will honor the contracted price regardless of your due date.
For more information, leave a message at (520) 749-0329
with your name and phone number. We will call you back within 48
hours. Or, send an email to:

Doula is a Greek word meaning a "woman who gives
another woman support and assistance". As a trained childbirth
assistant, a birth doula provides continuous emotional and physical support
throughout a woman's labor. The idea of the doula comes from the
tradition of women helping women in and after childbirth, to make the birth
and transition into a new family a
positive and rewarding experience.
