MoreFit is excited to be offering birth doula services!

Doulas continue to be widely recognized for the positive effects they have on the laboring individual, their partners and their babies. Studies show that births attended by doulas generally have a reduction in medical intervention and improved birth outcomes. Doulas help empower birthing families to make informed choices regarding their birth, and support them in whatever they choose.

Diane and Beth, our birth doulas at MoreFit, strive to meet the informational, emotional and physical needs of their clients. They are passionate about making a positive impact on the birthing experiences of those in their communities.
