WHAT IS A DOULA?

Doula is a Greek word for servant. The definition has been adapted to mean a woman serving a woman in childbirth.

Doulas are trained to provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to you and your partner before, during and after childbirth. They assist you during labor with relaxation, breathing, message, verbal encouragement and other comfort measures. They also work with your partner, encouraging his involvement and creating an atmosphere of teamwork and trust.

A doula does not offer medical assessments, advice or treatment. They provide continuous personal support for you and your partner during your birth experience.

I want you to have the best birth experience possible, that's why being a doula is my passion...
