What is a doula?
Doula is a word with Greek origins meaning “a woman who serves.” A guide during pregnancy who provides individual preparation for your unique childbirth experience; she is a hands-on support person throughout labor and birth, providing proven comfort techniques and encouragement for a safer and more satisfying experience.
