What is a doula?

A doula is a trained birth professional who supports mothers and their family’s during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Doulas help provide informational, emotional, physical support. A doula doesn’t replace your partner, instead works alongside your partner supporting you both helping to create a strong birth team.

A common misconception I hear all the time is a doula is only for a specific kind of birth. For example: only for moms having a home-birth or wanting an unmedicated birth. This isn’t true. As a doula I’m here to support you on whatever kind of birth you dream of having. Together we can create a birth plan to support you and your goals surrounding birth.
