what is a doula?
The term doula is actually derived from the Greek word, meaning “woman’s servant.”
Doulas are considered to be trained, non-medical professionals who assist women throughout pregnancy, labour/birth and the postpartum period by offering continuous physical, emotional and educational support.
I join you and your birthing team in preparing for your birth,
