Monitrice ​Services

A monitrice is a unique combination of a doula ​and a midwife. A monitrice offers the same ​continuous labor support as a doula, but has ​additional midwifery training and can utilize ​their skills as needed. A monitrice is a perfect ​option for families that are planning a hospital ​delivery, but want to stay at home as long as ​possible to avoid excessive hospital ​interventions. They provide the same physical ​and emotional support as a doula, but in ​addition can help monitor mother and baby ​while laboring at home. At the appropriate ​time, the monitrice will accompany you to the ​hospital and continue to provide support as a ​doula.
