NYC Birth Doula

Hi, my name is Janet Bogardus, and I live in NYC with my husband and two daughters. I offer birth support to pregnant women as a birth doula, Lamaze childbirth educator, and prenatal yoga teacher. I have been on faculty at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital since 2006, where I teach Lamaze courses, the Birthing Center orientation class, and prenatal and postpartum yoga classes.

Many people wonder, "What exactly is a birth doula and why should I consider working with one"?
