What is a Doula?

Doula - Pronounced 'doo-la' - is a Greek word meaning 'woman servant or caregiver'.

It refers to a trained birth professional who provides emotional, physical and informational support

to a mother and her partner before, during and after childbirth.  This support helps families 

achieve the healthiest and most satisfying experience as possible.  A doula is considered an essential part of a birth team.
