Doula Services
Jennifer Vanderlaan is now accepting doula clients in New York's Capital District for the months of February through July 2010.
Every doula is trained to help you have a good birth experience. The difference between a good doula match and a bad doula match can be as simple as personality or as complicated as poor communication about your goals. I encourage you to read through the information about my services, and if you think I might be the doula for you contact me for an interview.
