What is a Doula?

A doula (pronounced doo-la) is a woman who fulfils the much needed and unfortunately often missing role of support for women (and their partners) from pregnancy to early parenting. The doula’s role is to mother the mother and help smooth her transition into parenthood.

A doula is beneficial to the whole family, her supportive presence can take the pressure off fathers and she can help take care of older siblings, as well as the other tasks listed below. I am currently completing my recognition process with Doula UK and therefore I offer the trainee rate for this service.
