A doula is an unbiased individual whose purpose is to support you while you navigate your pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Doulas offer guidance by sharing information to help you understand your options so you can make informed decisions for yourself.

In addition to providing evidence-based informational support, doulas also offer emotional support and physical support to help create a positive and empowering birth experience.

Having a doula gives you reassurance that there will be someone in the room listening to you and providing a continuous supportive presence from the start of labor through the end.
