Birth Help

10/10 for my whole experience with Birth Help. The application/interview process was rigorous and helped my husband and I decide what we wanted for our birth and get serious about going natural.

I am so thankful I hired Claire to be my doula. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and supportive, but she immediately felt like a close friend! I could not have had the beautiful, natural birth experience I had without her help.

She worked tirelessly with my husband to comfort me while helping my labor progress with encouragement and various movement strategies. She supported us through various unexpected challenges in labor and it was so helpful to have a present, experienced person who was on our side to bounce ideas off of. She helped us advocate for ourselves and make informed decisions throughout the process.

Claire helped energize me with affirmations and encouragements when labor was very hard for me and my husband. In the end, we were able to go all natural and have a wonderful joyful experience. I highly recommend Birth Help to anyone, even if not planning to go natural as knowing Claire was with us throughout the process made our experience so much more peaceful and smooth.

Anyone would be blessed to have her support!

Birth Help's Doula Team is growing. Welcome, Bailey Reihm!

Bailey’s journey into birth work began after welcoming her first son at Birth Center of Baton Rouge in 2018. That moment sparked a deep calling to support other women during one of the most sacred and powerful times of their lives. Bailey became a BEST-Certified Doula and began attending births in 2020.

While Bailey is especially passionate about natural, unmedicated birth, her heart as a doula is to ensure every mother feels deeply supported, respected, and empowered, no matter what their birth plan looks like. She is a steady source of peace, encouragement, and evidence-based information, and is honored to walk alongside families with compassion, prayer, and presence as they welcome new life.

When she’s not serving families, you’ll find Bailey enjoying time with her husband and three boys. She enjoys serving in church, getting lost in a good book, sipping strong coffee, and caring for her ever-growing collection of houseplants.

It's Doula Month!

It's the month to celebrate Doula Support, and we're excited! Birth Help Doulas Rene' and Claire have served 24 families this year at Birth Center of Baton Rouge, homebirths, Ochsner, and Woman's Hospital.
