Doulas

Doula, a word from the Greek, signifies a woman dedicated to nurturing and supporting new mothers and families. Contemporary doulas combine traditional wisdom with current practical information and hands-on guidance to provide education, support, and non-medical care. Most importantly, doulas meet the individual needs of each mother, baby, and family in the security of their own environment.
