What is a Doula?

Doulas support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond into the postnatal period by giving information, providing advocacy, and offering support to the birthing person and their family. I am here to listen, free from judgment, but with empathy and compassion to help you make informed choices.

The benefits of a doula

 

 

  • Continuity of support through pregnancy, birth and postnatally
  • Shorten the length of labour
  • Reduce the need for pain relief by 30%
  • Decrease caesarean section rate by 50%
  • Positive support for the parents
  • Lower rates for induction of labour
  • Greater success establishing breastfeeding
  • Flexible support at home

 

 

"If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it."
