What doulas do...

♥ We recognize that birth is a significant life experience that will always be remembered.

♥ We understand the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor.

♥ We assist mothers and their partners in preparing for and carrying out their birth preferences.

♥ We share evidence based information to empower a birthing individual to make decisions and give informed consent.

♥ We facilitate communication between the mother, her partner, and the medical care team.

♥ We provide continuous emotional and physical care throughout labor with an objective point of view.

♥ Ultimately, a doula’s role is to nurture and protect a mother’s memory of her birth experience.

and do NOT do...

× We do NOT perform any clinical tasks such as blood pressure, fetal heart checks, vaginal exams, and others.

× We do NOT make decisions for you.

× We do NOT speak to the staff on your behalf.

× We do NOT project any of my own beliefs onto your experience.
