 "Birth is a key life passage for women. But modern America has become pre-occupied with the arrival of the baby-to-   be, and lost touch with birth's profound impact on the mother-to-be, herself."- Yana Cortlund.

I am Sabrina Foulks (IBCLC,CLS,BA,CCE, CPES) owner of Birthing Empowerment and Doula Services, LLC. Birth is an unforgettable experience that forces a woman to surrender her soul to an inevitable outcome. The opportunities surrounding birth need to be available and explored. I have been a birth doula since 2006 and with each birth experience that I am apart of it still amazes me of the uniqueness each birth possesses. I also am a certifed Childbirth Educator and and Internation Board Certified Lactation Consultant; which allows me to teach personalized classes based around the schedule and needs of each family I work with. I encourage you to view this site in its entirety to find out the options that are available to you and gain the knowledge of what your birth experience could potentially hold.  more about me

What is a birth doula and their essential purpose?


A birth doula is labor assistant that provides physical, emotional, and mental support to a laboring women. A doula does NOT perform any type of medical procedures, such as a medical professional. Doula work is a passion, a calling that allows for the therapeutic nature of another individual to offer to you and your partner continuous support and encouragement throughout your labour and birth. A doula respects and honours your decisions regarding your labour and works closely with you to help you achieve your ideal birth.
 
Will a Birth Doula take the place of my partner??

 
A birth doula will never take the place of your partner. A doula is there to assist you both in the birth of your child. A doula supports not only the birthing woman, but her partner as well, providing him/her with a trusted friend to turn to when he may be having difficulty understanding the process and what his/her love is experiencing. She works with partners to provide them with additional tools to help the birthing woman locate their inner resources and when necessary help them to focus and remain on track. She is the guide, but can never replace a partner’s role, for she can never love the woman in the same way, and understand her nuances and intimacies.
