India is a certified birth & postpartum doula, who loves to read, cook & eat, exercise, drink tea, & have a good time. Certified through BMBFA, India graduated with three births, which kickstarted her doula career. India’s mission behind Laboring with Love, Doula Services is to change the way women experience motherhood & lessen the stress & anxiety surrounding childbirth & the 4th trimester. This will be achieved by providing you with adequate & evidence-based information, resources, comfort measures during labor, emotional, physical & mental support, while advocating for you & teaching you the proper way to advocate for yourself so you’re able to achieve your desired birth experience. Caring for you during the 4th trimester, LWLDS practices the Ayurvedic approach, which is an Indian practice that relies on a natural & holistic approach to help you heal physically & mentally, by focusing on four things: rest, warmth, nutrition, & body work. Mothers need to be mothered and nurtured so they’re able to properly mother & nurture their child, which is why during the 4th trimester, the focus is to care for the mother. Every woman deserves a doula & there’s no way to labor than to Labor with Love!

My two main goals with being a doula is to ensure that moms are experiencing their ideal birth and to have a successful 4th trimester. We will achieve this by being educated and informed on childbirth education, evidence-based information, interventions, advocacy and more. During the 4th trimester we will focus on rest, warmth, healing foods/herbs and body work to ensure a healthy recovery and to avoid postpartum depression/anxiety.
