What is a doula?
The word "doula" is used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.
Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.

A Doula...
She is not a friend.
She is not a healthcare provider.
She is a caretaker of the most ancient kind.
Her birth experience empowers you.
She is a reassuring presence who will always listen to you and support you in your chosen path.
She will remind you of those choices, and the reason you made them,
when you are in doubt, are anxious, or afraid.
She sees you; the real you.
Her understanding of your journey supports your self-confidence.
She eases pain with a touch, a word, a look...
