A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. For many hospitals in Region 8, doulas are considered part of the care team, and not a guest of yours… which means more support for you during your birth!

​

Many scientific studies show that doula care improves physical and psychological outcomes for both pregnant, birthing, and postpartum people and their baby. Doulas have a positive impact on the well-being of the entire family. Click HERE to read one of those studies.
