Why choose a Doula?
Most people don’t know what a Doula does. That’s okay.
We’ll show you the difference a Doula can make.

Many of our clients weren’t sure what a doula was or whether they needed one. They just knew they didn’t want to feel rushed, alone, or overwhelmed during birth.
- Your medical provider monitors your medical care.
- Your nurse manages your labor timeline.
- Your partner and family offer love and support.
- Your doula provides evidence-based information, emotional reassurance, and fierce advocacy- amplifying your voice, choices, and needs in every setting.
We advocate for your preferences and help you prepare, whether you’re giving birth virtually or in person. Your doula joins you during active labor and remains a steady presence throughout, offering support, advocacy, and calm when you need it most.

What clients are saying about Birth You Desire
Ursula is amazing! She is a fierce advocate, a calming presense, and a safe space when you need it most. I can’t recommend her enough.
We had the pleasure of hosting Ursula for a workshop at our office on the differences between sleep shaping and sleep training, and it was nothing short of amazing! Ursula brought a wealth of knowledge and an engaging presentation style that truly resonated with everyone in attendance.
We worked with Lynn as our birth doula for the birth of our first child and could not be more pleased. We felt supported and prepared (as well as one can be for the unexpected!)
I was on the fence about hiring a birth doula but I’m so glad I did! When my birth plan had to change on a dime due to high blood pressure, my BYD doula was available to talk me through the changes, listen to my concerns, and just generally support me in this change. She was so helpful during the delivery as she worked with my partner and the hospital nurse to encourage me and ultimately achieve the birth I desired.
