Role of a Birth Doula

A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and evidence based support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth.

A doula complements the care given by medical professionals by offering emotional and psychological support to their client. While a provider may be tending to multiple patients, a doula offers undivided attention to their client, focusing solely on their individual needs and birth preferences.

Offering an objective viewpoint, a doula ensures their client is getting the information they need in order to make an informed decision they feel safest and most comfortable pursuing.
