Gina Benson

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hey, I'm Gina! I know that fear can stop or prolong labor for our own protection and that ignorance can be a root cause for fear. As a doula, I want to help reduce or eliminate any ignorance surrounding the natural birthing process to prevent fear hindering your chances for an optimal birthing experience. I aim to educate and inform during prenatal visits so that you have the knowledge and confidence you need to make sound decisions that are not based in fear but in alignment with your own instincts. During labor and delivery, I will be a steady, available presence to reassure you that you and your baby are safe and that you are doing exactly what you need to do.

Even when new parents are blessed with supportive and caring family and friends, family and friends may struggle to understand how best to care for the needs of a new parent. As a doula, I want to ensure new families don’t have to worry about whether they can take care of themselves and their new babies and/or older children while life continues to happen around them. I can easily help new parents in the ways they most need, whether that is by temporarily assuming responsibility for some everyday tasks that take time away from caring from your baby, ensuring you have nourishment and a comfortable space to focus on bonding as a new family, occasionally relieving you of taking care of your baby in order to care for yourself, and/or providing information and resources so that you feel more confident and comfortable in your new parenthood journey.
