FOR FAMILIES

Learn how a doula can help you through your birthing experience.

A Birth Doula is a person who assists the family before, during and immediately after the birth of their baby. They are trained professionals who provide continuous physical, emotional and educational support to parents before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve a healthy, enjoyable birth experience.
