I AM YOUR DOULA

I AM YOUR DOULA

Hi, I am Susan

As your Doula, I will support you and your partner in achieving a positive birth journey and act as a liaison between you, your partner, and your team during this amazing transition. I will be fully present and mindful in keeping your wishes and your goals on track but recognize when we need to come up with a new goal as things may change.

The word “Doula” comes from an ancient Greek term meaning “a woman who serves.” Fast forward thousands of years and BILLIONS of births later, it is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.
