About your Doula at AllPhase InScope LLC
Hello! My name is Di’Andra, owner of AllPhase InScope LLC; Certified through the Set Apart Collective. Although I am just starting my journey as a certified doula, my passion for childcare and family support spans many years. I am a proud mother of three children and a bonus child. My extensive experience ranges from babysitting and nannying to working in preschools. I also hold a certification in early childhood care and education.
Outside of my doula work, I cherish staying active with my family. I enjoy going for walks, dancing, and exploring creative outlets like making t-shirts. These activities keep me grounded and inspired, allowing me to bring a positive and energetic spirit to my doula practice.
The inspiration to become a doula stemmed from my personal childbirth experiences. My last two births were completely natural, and I navigated them without a doula because I believed I couldn't afford one. This realization fueled my desire to become a doula, making sure that every mother, whether it's her first or last child, has access to the support she deserves.
I began my doula certification while on maternity leave with my youngest child and proudly completed it shortly after returning to work. This journey reflects my dedication and commitment to supporting other mothers.
I serve families in The Upstate, specifically in Greer, Taylors, Greenville, Inman, Lyman, Duncan, and Spartanburg.
What is a Doula [doo-luh]?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Unlike medical professionals, doulas do not perform clinical tasks. Instead, they focus on the holistic well-being of the mother, offering personalized care tailored to her needs and preferences.
Why Choose A Doula??
Emotional Support: A doula offers a comforting presence, helping to reduce anxiety and stress during pregnancy and labor.
Physical Assistance: Doulas use techniques such as massage, positioning, and breathing exercises to manage pain and enhance comfort.
Informational Guidance: Doulas provide valuable information about childbirth, helping you make informed decisions and create a birth plan that aligns with your wishes.
Continuous Care: Unlike medical staff, a doula is dedicated solely to you, providing uninterrupted support throughout labor and delivery.
Advocacy: A doula helps communicate your preferences to the medical team, ensuring your voice is heard and respected.
Research shows that the presence of a doula can lead to shorter labor, fewer medical interventions, and a more positive birth experience. Choosing a doula means having a dedicated, compassionate partner by your side, supporting you through one of life's most transformative journeys.
