Our Approach
Our philosophy is to help you achieve your idea of the most beautiful birth possible: your body, your baby, your birth. We support all mamas, and all birth options - natural, induction, epidural and c-section. Furthermore, we have no agenda - we support what you want.
​
Part of a satisfying birth experience is knowing that you knew all of your options and were completely involved in any decision making - we honestly believe that if you don't know your options, then you have none. We educate our mamas on what choices to expect, and then support their decisions. This enables women to achieve their birth goals and encourages beautiful, empowering birth experiences.
​
Mama's Friend offers education, information, support, coaching and guidance, and works with the obstetric and gynecology specialists in southern
Alabama and surrounding areas.
About Us
We are confident in evidence-based information, and the power of education; we trust the human body and the processes by which it operates.
​
We are confident in the strength of women, and that birth can be an empowering experience in a woman's life; that mamas are capable of conquering fear and preparing for birth in a way that will promote peace, power, strength and confidence.
​
We are confident in our mamas, and we are confident in our team - we believe our doulas can benefit all births, babies and mamas.
