Birth Doula

What is a Doula?

A Doula is an experienced, non-medical, professional that works to enhance the childbirth experience for the mother, her partner, and her family through compassion and support.

She provides emotional support, physical comfort measures, and assists the mother in getting the information she needs to make informed decisions about her and her baby's care.

The Doula also assists the woman and her partner in preparing for and carrying out their specific wishes and plans for the birth of their child.

Amy received her training through Doulas of North America in January 2007.
