Welcome to The Birthing Well
The Birthing Well is a sole-practitioner doula service providing labor and birth support to mothers and their partners in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle area of North Carolina. Owned by Kristy Hansen CD(DONA), The Birthing Well has experience with natural childbirth, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), birth center birth and home birth.
Representing a well of compassion, knowledge and support, the goal of The Birthing Well is to provide you -- both mom and partner -- the support you need to have a positive birth experience. Sometimes that support is in the form of touch, massage, and encouragement to change positions while in labor. Sometimes that support is in the form of resources and information. And sometimes that support is simply a hand extended during an emotional time. Whatever you want or need, The Birthing Well will work hard to provide.
"Giving birth was an incredible experience for me, and having Kristy as my doula was a big part of that. I was so glad she was there during my labor, but what surprised me most was how much she helped me to prepare myself for the birth mentally and emotionally. I don’t think anything can completely prepare you for labor and childbirth, but when the time came, I think I was as ready as possible, and that really helped me get through it successfully." -- E.H.
