Doula Support

What is a doula? 

A doula is a professional trained in childbirth who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. Their purpose is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. Doulas focus on the needs of the mother and offer mental, physical, and emotional support.
