Birthing Gently was established in 2002 by
Tara Poulin / Founder, CD(DONA), BDT(DONA) as a solo practice. Since then Birthing Gently has grown into a multi-doula practice specializing in high risk deliveries. Our original Doula practice was established in
Boston, MA and has expanded into
Southern NH.
Many of our birth Doula's have trained directly under Tara Poulin through our DONA International approved birth Doula Workshops. We offer a group of highly trained & experienced birth Doula's, or for a significantly lower rate you can work with one of our trained Birth Doula's through our Apprentice Doula program.
We can be identified at births by our logo on our unique navy blue uniform shirt. Our team at Birthing Gently is committed to providing affordable care to expecting and new families. We provide a nurturing environment for learning during pregnancy and beyond. Our mission is to promote maternal and fetal well-being. We provide an unbiased approach to our expecting families no matter what the plan for birth might be (i.e. Natural, Medicated or Cesarean Section).
