What is a Doula?

 

A birth doula is a role that has existed for millennia, but hasn’t been described in that way until recently. For hundreds of generations, women in labor were surrounded by other women who provided advice and support (both physical and emotional) as the laboring woman brought her baby into the world.

Today, birth doulas serve the same purpose. Natural nurturers, trained doulas are equipped with a multitude of physical and emotional tools that provide comfort, confidence, and joy during labor and birth.

A birth doula will counsel with a pregnant person before and after birth, and accompany them to provide support during labor and birth. Numerous studies have shown that birth doulas help decrease medical intervention and cesarean rates, and increase the birthing person’s satisfaction with their experience.
