First off, what is a doula? 
A doula is a trained labor support person who provides mom, dad or partner continuous emotional and mental support along with physical comfort techniques. A doula also provides information about labor and delivery and helps you to not only make the best decision for you and your baby but helps you to acheive the birth experience you want. Now a doula does not replace the providers, but supplement the care and support that a busy MD or CNM may provide.
My name is Skye Bordcosh and as a mother myself I cant stress enough how important it is for woman to have knowledgable but also kind and gentle support during labor.
I am a birth doula here to provide support and information for woman of all ages in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area. I am curently in training to get my certification with DONA. I believe that a woman has the right to make her own decisions related to her care and to allow her body to do what it naturally knows how to do without the drugs or medical inteventions.
