Atlanta Doula Services

Hiring a doula makes a significant difference in a couples labor and birth experience.  Many couples report they wished they had used a doula with their first baby, after having a second or third child with a doula present.  The doulas listed are all willing to travel and work in both hospital and home settings all over Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.

Why Do I need a Doula?

Continuous emotional support during labor in a U.S. hospital.
A randomized controlled trial.

As a mother of three, 13, 6 and 4, I value the importance of family and strive to help families give their babies the best start in life, beginning with their birth.  I support parent’s informed decisions regardless of where or how they choose to give birth. I have 7 years of experience in hospital births, homebirths, waterbirths, and HypnoBirths.

Tara Thompson, CD   Tara’s Touch Massage 770-380-6364
I am a mother of three wonderful children ages 16, 13, and 8.  After becoming a massage therapist I began to learn everything I could about prenatal massage. I then put it all together and realized my purpose in life. I am here to give childbearing women information, education, and relaxation.

What is Support?

Support is unconditional.  It is listening, not

judging, not telling your own story.

Support is not offering advice.  It is offering

a touch, a hug, a tissue…caring.

We are here to listen…not to work miracles.

We are here to help women discover what

they are feeling…not to make the feelings

go away.

We are here to help a woman identify her

options…not to tell her which options to

choose.

We are here to discuss steps with a woman…

not to take steps for her.

We are here to help a woman discover her

own strength…not to rescue her and leave

her still vulnerable.

We are here to help a woman discover she

can help herself…not to take responsibility

for her.

We are here to help a woman learn to

choose…not to make it unnecessary for her

to make difficult choices.
