Inner Strength Doula Services

Congratulations! If you are visiting my website, then you are preparing for the birth of your baby!  What a wonderful time in your life and I appreciate you taking the time to not only visit my site, but also to make informed decisions about your labor and delivery.

I am Meg Smith, a DONA International certified Birth Doula who has attended over 175 Births and would love to help you get the most out of your birth experience. I am also a ProDoula Certified PostPartum and Infant Care Doula and a certified  Childbirth Educator through ACBE and a VBAC trained birthworker.

What does a Birth Doula do?

Whether beginning or expanding your family, each birth brings together a unique set of hopes, anxieties and dreams that a Doula works with you to ensure come true.  I will provide a loving and supportive source of care that will assist you and your partner as you welcome your child to the world.



What Does a Postpartum Doula Do?

As a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, I nurture the mother!  I support a new family's transition to life at home. I strive to ease the burdens of daily life so that you can enjoy and bond with your baby! I will provide loving and supportive care at this exciting (and sometimes exhausting!) time for you and your family.
