Why have a Birth Doula?

Giving birth is one of most transformative experiences in a woman’s life and every woman deserves having the right and best team by their side.
The evidence shows that when a Doula provides continuous support in labour, the birth outcomes for both mother and baby are more likely to be better and the post-partum period more healthy.

In ancient cultures women used to birth with a doula, or an elder who were able to support them in this sacred time due to their knowledge and wisdom of labour and delivery, and because of their capacity to create safe space for them to be confident and trust themselves to birth their baby.
