What Is A Doula & Why Should You Have One?
The word "Doula" comes from Greek, translated to mean "slave" or "servant." While often known for their negative connotations, slave and servant in this definition refer to one's expression of love through the care and support in various communities of laboring women and new mothers. Today's Doula is a trained professional birth companion who offers informational, emotional, and physical support to laboring and new mothers. Doulas have a powerful effect on the first significant rite of passage that all humans must complete, and that is being born.
