Frequently Asked Questions

  • A doula is a steady and nurturing presence who offers emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days of motherhood.

  • Not at all. As a doula, I do not replace anyone from your medical team. Instead, I work alongside them to create and hold space for you so you can feel calm and empowered. I am here to gently guide and to advocate you in making informed choices that feel right for you and your baby.

  • Women who receive continious support from a Doula often expereience more positive birth and postpartum outcomes - physically and emotionally.

    Research had shown that continuous doula support is associated with

    • a 39% decrease in unplanned caesarean births

    • a 15% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
