What Is A
DOULA?
A Doula is a non-medical support professional who holds space for the client and family, provides emotional and physical support, and provides information to client’s needs and desires.
What We Do

Amplify Family’s Voice
The Doula will help encourage informed decision making and will help with self-advocacy. The Doula will help the client figure out what the birth wishes are.
Provide
Resources
The Doula will have a list of resources and can refer clients to places to help with anything after the birth.
