What is a doula?

Doulas are trained to provide physical, emotional, psychological support to a birthing family (both mom and dad) and to help them navigate the pregnancy and birthing journey. Doulas provide education, comfort measures, physical support, and guidance from the minute they are hired until baby is here!

While doulas do not have to be certified, we believe in the importance of certification so that you don’t have this experience:
