What Is A Doula?

A doula is a non-medical, trained support person who assists laboring women through the birthing process. The doula provides emotional and physical support to the expectant mother, and can also serve as an assistant in creating and advocating for wishes specified in a birth plan. Doulas use massage, aromatherapy, and positioning suggestions to facilitate the birthing process. A doula who can provide craniosacral therapy is highly beneficial in promoting a healthy pregnancy and birth, as craniosacral therapy helps to alleviate aches and pains, nausea and morning sickness, fatigue, emotional difficulties, and other pregnancy-related complications.

As a recently certified doula, Julie recommends prospective mama clients to schedule services at 32 weeks, 36 weeks, 40 weeks, during labor, and postpartum. Please call, text, or email with any further questions, or to request services.
