Description:

Research is clear that continuous emotional and physical support is making some of the most significant differences in labour and birth outcomes for mothers and babies.

The word "Doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during, and just after birth.
