What Is a Doula—and What to Expect

A doula is a trained, non-medical professional who provides continuous support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. From emotional reassurance to physical comfort and evidence-based guidance, a doula helps you feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way. Whether it’s your first birth or your fifth, having a doula can make the experience calmer, more confident, and deeply connected.
