"If a doula were a drug it would be unethical not to use it." 
Dr. John H. Kennel

What is a
Doula?

The term "Doula" derives from the greek word meaning servant of a woman.

In ancient times and even today in various cultures, birthing women were being supported emotionally  and surrounded by experienced and wise women. In order to focus on looking after their newborn, their healing and restoring of energy, women were also nurtured by a caring and protective circle of women during the postpartum period. In our modern culture the importance of this precious time has been widely forgotten. Very often young mothers are left alone with the baby, other children and daily life at a very early stage. This is the gap that a doula can fill in by offering emotional and practical support during this deeply transformational time to give you and your baby the best possible start into this life.
