A doula is a modern term for a person who serves the mother and her family,
and I feel as if I have been doing this work for lifetimes.
As a doula, I become someone you trust, someone who understands you as you make the transition into your next stage of being – the stage of motherhood. A doula provides practical information on birth, comfort measures, emotional support and makes sure to tend to all of your needs as your family transitions and transforms.
