What is a birth doula?
A birth doula is a certified, non-clinical professional who is there during labor providing emotional and physical supports to the birth-giver via massage techniques, translating medical jargon into understandable language, and reminding you of affirmations — just to name a few ways. If there is a support person or partner, a doula will also help that person support the birth-giver in the most effective and helpful ways.
