Although these actions of women supporting other women during pregnancy and birth goes back to the dawn of time.
More people now are opting for a doula to support their journey.
Everyone has an idea of how they see their “perfect” birth and that can be so different from person to person. You make the choices that feel right for you. The doula is there for you…
As a doula I support you to trust your intuition and listen to your body’s natural rhythms and if to facilitate calm you choose a medical setting rather than, for instance “at home” I will be there. The calmness those decisions bring about is the key! However your baby arrives, if you feel that that choice was yours, the mental, emotional aspect of that is huge for your post natal journey.

I will be on call for three weeks over your 40 week date if you have decided that the support of a doula would be beneficial for you.
