What is a doula anyway?
You've heard the word - what does it mean?
A doula can be summed up as a professional labor support person. We meet with you prenatally to help you prepare for your labor, and to allow us to get to know you and you to get to know us. We are there for you throughout your labor and help you through the initial postpartum period. We are there for you physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
How doulas can effect your birth experience
Whether you are at home, in a freestanding birth center or in a hospital, a doula can provide an invaluable source of comfort, encouragement, and assistance.
