What Is A Doula?

A Doula is an experienced birthing companion who understands the emotional and physical needs of a woman and her family throughout her pregnancy, labour and birth, and provides continuous support (non-medical) and care for a woman throughout her whole birth experience.

We are Certified Doulas trained to support women on an emotional and physical basis and to interact sensitively with all those involved with pregnancy and birth.
