The word “doula” is a Greek word meaning “female servant”. In the simplest of terms, we serve pregnant and birthing mothers. Birth Doulas provide non-medical physical and emotional support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. As birth doulas, our role is to be exactly what each birthing mother needs at each moment. We are a continuous and calming presence during the labor and childbirth experience and aim to create and foster an environment tailored to the mother’s unique wishes. By getting to know our clients thoroughly during prenatal appointments, we anticipate and adapt to the mother’s needs based on her individual preferences, history, and perspectives. We provide unbiased, non-judgemental, and evidenced-based educational resources to guide the often overwhelming decisions faced in pregnancy and birth. Birth doulas complement the roles of the medical care team and birthing partner by providing holistic support that addresses the non-clinical aspects of pregnancy and childbirth.
