What is a Doula?

A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional and physical support, as well as information and guidance, before, during and after childbirth.

I will meet with you and your partner to help you develop your preferences and to make informed choices throughout pregnancy, labour and delivery. Drawing on my knowledge, experience and professional training, I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labour progress, and help with relaxation, positioning and other techniques for comfort. I am independent and self-employed. As your Doula, I am working for you, not your caregiver or hospital.

Simply support...
