Welcome!

I'm Gina Benson, Doula

I am a doula supporting people throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My mission is to improve perinatal outcomes for birthing people and their babies.

Calm - Knowledgeable - Reassuring

I’m Doula Gina, owner of Atala Doula Services, serving the Capital City region as a birth, postpartum, and bereavement doula. A successful VBA2C using Hypnobabies in 2011 ignited my enduring passion for supporting and achieving optimal birthing experiences and sharing information about pregnancy and birth to advocate for better perinatal and newborn health outcomes. Now, I want to be your cheerleader, encouraging you to reach your goals and tap into your amazing capabilities, and also be a person you can lean on when you need to rest to revitalize your energy.

About

Having spent most of my adult working life as a technical writer, which involves gathering information from subject matter experts and creating written resources that even non-technical people can easily understand and follow, I realized the work was not as rewarding or fulfilling as I wish it would be. So, I embarked on some introspection to evaluate my personality, my strengths, what I enjoyed about my prior work, and what I most want to do in the future…be a source of support and empowerment for others

You know that question about what topic you could give a presentation on without time to prepare? I realized that pregnancy/birth is at the top of my list of topics because I’ve never stopped being interested in pregnancy and birth since I first started learning about these subjects during my first pregnancy journey. I am amazed by the intricacies of successful pregnancy and birth, and I’ve had a variety of birth and postpartum experiences myself. My goal as your doula is to ensure you feel confident in your choices, knowing that you can adapt as necessary to any situation throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
