A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to individuals during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
Doulas focus on non-medical support, whereas midwives provide clinical care such as delivering babies and monitoring the health of the birthing person and baby.
Studies show doulas can improve birth outcomes, reduce the likelihood of interventions, and enhance the overall birthing experience.
I provide prenatal education, help create birth plans, offer physical and emotional labor support, and guide postpartum recovery.
