What is a Doula?

Doula: “A trained profesional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help achieve healthiest most satifying experience as possible.” ~ DONA.org (What is a doula?)

My job as a doula is NOT to intervene in any medical measures, but to support the birthing person and their partner through birth and labor, ensure their birth plan is followed, and assist any comfort measures.

Countless scientific trials examining doula care demonstrate remarkably improved physical and psychological outcomes for both mother and baby. Doulas have a positive impact on the well-being of the entire family.
