Birth Doula

Think of a birth doula as your behind-the-scenes guide, hype woman, and steady hand through the wild, beautiful ride of giving birth.

A woman is leaning over and inside a small hot tub or bath, wearing a black swimsuit, with her head bowed and hair wet. An adult hand is resting on her back. The setting appears to be a cozy living room with wall decorations, a side table with a lamp, framed pictures, and a basket.

Research shows that having a doula can reduce the likelihood of a cesarean by up to 39%, decrease the use of pain medications like epidurals by 10%, and shorten labour by an average of 41 minutes. People who have continuous support from a doula are also 31% less likely to be dissatisfied with their birth experience. Having a doula makes a real difference.

Doulas are the bridge between medical care and emotional support, providing a continuous presence that nurtures and reminds women of their power during one of the most profound experiences of their lives
