In nearly every culture of the world, women have traditionally surrounded themselves with other women to care for them during their birthing journey.

 

The word “Doula” is a Greek word meaning woman servant or caregiver. Today it refers to someone who offers physical, emotional, and informational support to a woman and her partner during and after childbirth.

 

A Doula (also known as a birth coach) believes in mothering the mother, enabling a woman to have the most satisfying experience that she can from pregnancy into motherhood.
