Empowerment through Education

A doula is a support person brought in by the birthing person to aid in their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. The goal of a doula is to help people feel safe, secure, confident, knowledgeable, respected, and heard throughout every stage of this journey. Doulas should be an enhancement to your chosen team by aiding communication between the birthing person and their healthcare providers. Doulas aim to help clients and their loved ones articulate questions and convey wishes and preferences.

Something to keep in mind when thinking about hiring a doula. Asking someone to be present for a moment in time that will shape you as a human is the highest form of honor I can think of, don’t do it lightly. Think about the kind of person/parent you want to be, and find a doula who can help you achieve that goal.
