WELCOME TO MATERNAL INSTINCTS

At Maternal Instincts Doula, the goal is simple: provide current, personal, and evidence-based information, and individualized support to families. We are here for all kinds of moms (and dads): For the mother who may or may not want an epidural. The one that isn't quite sure she's comfortable with the idea of pushing. The one who needs extra support for a partner. One who needs support during a c-section.
We believe...there is a doula for everyone. 
We believe...birth education can be overwhelming. (Find a doula and she will help you through it!)
We believe... education, support and preparation will calm your fears, and empower you to achieve your birthing goals: ​whatever they may be.
We believe...you were made for this. ​

WHAT IS A DOULA?

Doula comes from the greek word “doulos” meaning “to serve." A doula guides a woman through her pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum time providing emotional, physical and informational support to help meet her birthing goals. A doula accompanies a woman in labor to help her have a more satisfying birth experience. She provides emotional as well as physical comfort, support, and helps communicate with the staff to make sure that she has the information she needs to make informed decisions as they arise in labor.

​Doulas are independent and self-employed. Your doula works for you, not your caregiver or hospital.
Maternal Instincts has been serving moms (and dads) for more than 20 years. Learn why more than 300 have chosen Maternal Instincts Doula to attend their births, and teach their classes.
 You deserve current, personal, and
evidence-based information, as well as individualized support for your birth.​ We're here to help.
Traci Weafer is passionate about helping moms (and their partners)  in the River Region achieve their birthing goals. Meet her and her team.
