Doulas of Asheville celebrates first anniversary, expands service area

Press release:

 

Doulas of Asheville is celebrating its first anniversary and announcing its expansion to also serve Hickory, Hendersonville, Waynesville and the surrounding areas.

Families expecting babies and adjusting to life with their little ones hire doulas to provide non-medical physical, emotional, and educational support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum time. “We help bring a sense of calm and confidence to families going through really big and sometimes difficult transitions,” says Doulas of Asheville co-owner, Christine Robinson.

Postpartum doula client Mary Beth of Asheville says, “I remember the times I hired Doulas of Asheville as happy blurs – when I was able to get some sleep, to allow my body to relax and recover, to bond with my baby, and to know that everything (and everybody) else was taken care of.” She describes Doulas of Asheville’s support as, “a very specific blend of fabulous: it is steeped in compassion, with zero edges of ‘judginess’ and is combined with breathtaking competence, attention to detail, and ability to listen and improvise as needed.”

Doulas of Asheville doulas are now in Asheville and throughout the WNC region. “We have agency doulas as far west as Waynesville, east to Hickory, and can cover the area south of Hendersonville to the South Carolina border,” Robinson says. Doulas of Asheville has also worked with families outside western North Carolina to either find the best support locally or hire one of their agency doulas to travel to their location.

To celebrate their anniversary and expanded service area, Doulas of Asheville is offering a limited time special of 10% off postpartum doula packages of 100 hours or more for contracts signed by May 31, 2017.
