What is a Doula?
The term comes from a Greek word meaning “to serve”. She is a woman who is trained to assist another woman during childbirth and who may provide support to the family after the baby is born. She provides the physical and emotional support a laboring woman needs during labor that her medical team can not provide. Why use a Doula? She brings birth back to women.... back into the mother's control... back to the time when women supported women and mothers were not left alone to labor. Our Mission My mission is the bring back the tradition for women supporting women in this major aspect of life...BIRTH. And to remind women that they are in control of their bodies, their labor and their child's birth. |
