Are you expecting a baby and feeling overwhelmed by all the unknowns? You don’t have to do this alone.  Paz Avgar, who has been a doula for over a decade, will provide a warm, supportive environment focused on preparing expectant parents for labor, delivery, and early postpartum.

Topics will be guided by participants’ interest and may include:

  • Guiding participants through practical techniques such as breathing exercises, pain management strategies, labor positions, and partner support roles
  • Discussing birth plans
  • Covering emotional well-being
  • Sharing what to expect during each stage of labor
  • Emphasizing informed decision-making and empowerment

Paz is available to book individual counseling and group sessions (based on demand).

Paz is a former professional dancer and a neuropsychological rehabilitation specialist who discovered her true calling in the world of pregnancy and birth. For over a decade, she has worked as a doula, supporting women through their journeys into motherhood.

Her practice has spanned the tri-state area, Israel, and most recently, the DMV region. Paz deeply believes in the innate wisdom and power of the female body—the ability to birth, to listen inward, and to respond to its own needs.
