Doula Services
Clearwater, Florida

What is a Doula

A Doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. Their purpose is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience.

During delivery, doulas are in close proximity to the mother. They  provide comfort with pain-relief techniques including breathing techniques, relaxation techniques, massage, and laboring positions. Doulas encourage participation from the partner and offer reassurance.

A doula acts as an advocate for the mother, encouraging and helping her fulfill specific desires she might have for her birth. The goal of a doula is to help the mother experience a positive and safe birth, no matter what setting.

After birth, your doula may help with breastfeeding  and encouraging bonding between the new baby and other family members.
