​BIRTH DOULA SERVICES 


​“Doula” comes from a Greek word that means “a woman who serves”
​A doula is a non-medical birth professional who supports growing families with informational, physical, and emotional support.
Including a doula in your birth team is proven by best evidence to lessen fear about the process of labor and birth and provide you with a greater satisfaction about your experience.
The continuous support of a doula during your birth may also provide a safer birth experience by reducing your risk of unnecessary interventions ​
