What is a Birth Doula?

 
 
A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
Countless scientific trials examining doula care demonstate remarkably improved physical and psychological outcomes for both mother and baby.
