Who are we?
Established in 2025, Night & Day Birth is a small group of like-minded birth doulas located in the Twin Cities, who are trained through DONA International and working towards certifiation. We plan to expand our services in the future to include postpartum support and childbirth education classes!
What is a birth doula?
The role of a birth doula is to provide emotional and physical support to birthing parents and their support person. Our mission is to promote birth satisfaction, and ease your potential worries about the big day. Every pregnancy and birth is unique to the individual, and how we care for you reflects this fact.
