A doula is a trained non-clinical birth professional that provides individualized support to pregnant persons and their families during pregnancy, birth, and during the postpartum (after delivery) period. Doulas go through specialized training to gain the knowledge and practical experience necessary to support you. Their undivided attention to you and your values make them a core member of your care team.


Doulas are non-medical care providers and they do not replace medical staff such as OBs or nurses.
