Welcome to Gainesville Doula Network. We are a doula community here to serve Gainesville families as they navigate pregnancy, birth and postpartum. A big part of doula care is helping our clients know local resources as their families grow. From lactation education, physical therapy or nutrition we want to know who’s in our community as we start the year. Please put your business or organization name in the comments so we can let our clients know you are here to support them.

Hey doulas, what are things you carry for your clients? found this delightful essential oil mix that is a life saver for a nauseous mama.

Doula tip today: essentials oils are commonly found in a doula bag. We carry these for many reasons here are just a few; peppermint oil helps with nausea, orange and geranium together rubbed on an aching muscle or crampy back can bring pain relief, lavender, rose or camomile help with anxiety and Cleary Sage may help keep labor going. I personally love a lemon-lavender blend to mist the labor space with when the room needs fresh air. A room not smelling bad to a laboring mother can be a big deal for her comfort when so many discomforts are out of her control.

It’s amazing how such a simple act of self-hospitality can be a reset in labor. Brushing your teeth, washing your face, getting clean socks… all meet the need in us to be able to feel like we are able to meet our own needs.
