“A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
Countless scientific trials examining doula care demonstate remarkably improved physical and psychological outcomes for both mother and baby.”

“Six weeks after childbirth, women who use doulas are more 51% more likely to breastfeed compared to 29%, are significantly less anxious, have lower scores on a test of depression, and have higher levels of self-esteem.”

“Evidence suggests that, in addition to regular nursing care, continuous one-to-one emotional support provided by support personnel, such as a doula, is associated with improved outcomes for women in labor. ”

“Continuous support from a person who is present solely to provide support, is not a member of the woman’s own network, is experienced in providing labor support, and has at least a modest amount of training (such as a doula), appears beneficial.”
