WHAT IS A DOULA
The word “doula” comes from ancient Greek, meaning “a woman who serves.” Today, “doula” refers to a professional trained to provide emotional, physical and educational support to women throughout their pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period.
Doulas have been around for centuries, and in recent years are becoming increasingly popular as people move toward more natural and hoslistic lifestyles. More and more women are choosing Doulas to provide birthing support throughout their pregnancy and in the delivery room.
