What is a doula?

A source of support, reassurance and evidence-based information.

A doula is a trained birth companion by your side through pregnancy, birth and the early days with your new baby. Offering information, reassurance and unwavering support, your doula helps you trust your instincts, make informed choices and navigate your journey into parenthood with confidence.

Research shows that having doula support is linked to lower caesarean rates, shorter labours, and parents feeling more confident, supported and satisfied with their birth experience.
