A "Monitrice" is a labor coach and consumer advocate, a labor support person who has special training, usually in nursing, midwifery, or related field.

As a Monitrice, I can provide services that are outside the scope of a doula, such as, listening to fetal heart tones and performing cervical exams. I work with couples or single moms, who prefer a labor support person with a more extensive educational background. I can also provide relaxation techniques, visualization, and exercise programs individually designed to fit your needs.
