"We love because He first loved us."

1 John 4:19

Labor of Love Doulas come from various denominational and economic backgrounds.

We range from women with no children through grandmothers.

Our common denominator is a passion for serving

and loving families in our community in the name of Jesus.

"I've always wanted to make a difference, even if it was for one person. I've gotten to see someone who was hurt and put down by so many people, change into an amazing parent. I've gotten to see the first bonds of a mom and a baby! To me, being a Doula gives me a chance to see life at it's fullest and most amazing moments!"
