Let’s chat about doula support vs continuous support from others🌙
-
Is there a proven difference in birth outcomes depending on who supports you? The short answer is YES!
-
The support of a doula has proven to be more impactful in birth outcomes. The research states:
• 25% decrease in the risk of Cesarean
• 8% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
• 10% decrease in the use of medication for pain relief
• Shorter labors by an average of 41 minutes
• 38% decrease in a low five minute APGAR score
• 31% decrease in the risk of dissatisfaction with the birth experience
-
All of these numbers are SO important and truly show how amazing and impactful doula support is ☺️

Did you know that only 6% of people use doulas?
-
I’ve been spending time researching how many birthers utilize doula services, and why the percentage is so low.
The biggest reasons?
•Cost
•Lack of information about doulas
•Not feeling like you need the support
-
At Moon and Back Doula Co, I’m here to educate you on the many ways I can support and advocate for you and your partner.
-
I also take pride in providing a sliding scale for pricing, so that there are no barriers between you and getting the support you need🌙

Hi all :)
I figured I’d take the time to formally introduce myself! My name’s Alysa, and I’m the owner of Moon and Back Doula Co! 🌙 I’m from a small town in Wisconsin, and now live and work in the Twin Cities area!
-
I started this company because I have a passion for helping people, and an interest in always growing my education.
-
As a doula, I get to not only be an advocate for birthers, but I get to be a building block in their support system. I want to provide all of my clients with the information needed to support THEIR choices through childbirth.
-
I want to show how life changing doulas are, and provide my services no matter your financial situation. I believe everyone deserves the right to be supported during such an important time in life!
-
The world needs more doulas 🤍

What is placenta encapsulation?
-
At Moon and Back Doula Co, we also offer placenta encapsulation services! The placenta is an amazing organ that nourishes your baby by exchanging nutrients and oxygen, and it also filters waste products!
-
With placenta encapsulation, we take this organ and carefully clean, dehydrate, and grind the organ down to be placed into capsules for the birther to consume postpartum!
-
So what are the benefits?
-
Research has shown:
•A decrease in postpartum depression
•Boosted energy levels (and who doesn’t want that!)
•⬆️ Oxytocin production
•An increase in breast milk production
-
Visit our website to see the placenta encapsulation packages we offer!🌙

Birth Plan Cards✨🌙
-
These are such a great tool that I use during your prenatal meetings! Each card is labeled front and back with choices that YOU have during labor!
-
We’ll sit down and choose what you want your labor to look like, and create the birth plan from there! These cards are amazing because they allow you to become educated on the multiple interventions and choices you have!
