A Doula for a gentle and natural approach to motherhood.
The term « DOULA »comes from ancient Greek meaning “servant” or “woman who serves.” Today, it refers to a birth companion, usually a woman who has experienced childbirth herself.
During the preparation for my daughter’s birth in 2023, I discovered the essential role of a doula and realized how valuable her support can be for pregnant women and new mothers. The empathetic presence of a doula can contribute in many ways: reducing stress, boosting confidence, managing fears, and more.
Who Can Benefit from Doula Support?
- Any woman desiring a gentle and natural approach to childbirth.
- Those seeking continuous support before, during, and after birth from a trusted companion.
- For women who do not have a birth companion.
- For those who want to understand the physiological aspects of childbirth and learn how to manage stress and pain naturally.
What Are the Roles of a Doula?
- Emotional Support: Providing a listening ear and a reassuring presence to help manage the emotions and stresses associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
- Physical Support: Offering comfort techniques, such as massages and labor positions, to help relieve pain and promote well-being.
- Informational support: Offering quality information about the childbirth process to help you make informed decisions.
- Postpartum Support: Assisting in the first weeks after birth, especially in adjusting to life with a newborn.
What a Doula Does Not Do:
- Medical Support: A doula does not replace the care provided by a midwife or gynecologist. Her role is to complement these services.
- Medical Interventions: She does not provide medical care or specific medical advice.
