Your all-in-one Doula support
Advocating for women to achieve empowered births through education and care.
Meet Evana
MONITRICE - DOULA - CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR
I serve families of all shapes and sizes, from every walk of life. Single parents, LGBTQ+, adoptive parents, and families welcoming their babies through surrogacy are commonplace for me. I strive to bring the best support to your family, without a specific approach to parenting, as this is your turn to make decisions about what is best for your family.
Why choose a Monitrice Doula ?
A Monitrice is a hybrid between a doula and a midwife who is trained to provide support, not only during childbirth but throughout your pregnancy and postpartum.
A Doula
A doula provides resources and physical/emotional support during pregnancy, birth and/or post partum.
A Midwife
A midwife has clinical training and is the primary care provider during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
A Monitrice Doula
A monitrice doula has clinical training (often as a midwife) and is acting as a doula.
You may choose to work with a Monitrice Doula if….
You’d like to labor at home as long as possible under the supervision of a trained support person
You’d like to give birth in a hospital but want someone to help clarify the medical jargon and keep you informed
You already have a midwife or other provider who will perform the primary care duties and want more support
Many women choose to work with a Monitrice doula because they want to labor at home as long as possible. Our Monitrice doulas are trained as midwives, meaning they can perform assessments and help you decide when it’s time to go to the hospital. Once there, we carry out the role of a doula. We provide emotional support, help you understand the clinical language, and remind you of previous conversations to help you make the best decisions for you and your family.
