Support Beyond the Clinical
A doula knows pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
The partner knows the birther.
It’s a perfect match!
A doula provides emotional, physical and informational support before, during and after birth. They don’t replace the medical team - they are an essential addition for the overall support.
While medical professionals focus on safety and clinical care, a doula focuses on YOU - your emotional well-being, your comfort, your communication with the care team, your birthing partner and your ability to stay connected to your own choices and voice.
Doulas help partners to fell supported and included, so they can confidently show up and be present in a way that strengthens the bond - both during and after birth.
