Description

Doulas are non-medical professionals who provide emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. They are trained to help birthing individuals and their families achieve the healthiest and most satisfying experience possible.

In addition to prenatal visits, support during labor/delivery, and postpartum visits, many doulas provide additional services, such as lactation support, newborn care and parenting classes, massage, and aromatherapy. Doulas may provide services in a variety of settings, such as a hospital, home, birthing center, and telehealth. Doulas do not deliver babies or provide medical care.
