Doula's are highly trained to offer physical and emotional support as well as, evidence based information to birthing people and the birth partner antenatally, during labour, birth and in the immediate post-natal period. With the support of a Doula many people have been able to achieve a positive birth with a reduced use of epidurals, opioid pain relief and decreased instance of medical intervention and Caesarean birth.

 

A Doula can support the family to help them feel empowered to communicate their needs and desires to allow them to achieve a positive birth experience however they choose to birth.

 

Doula's are able to provide support by providing personalised continuity of care throughout pregnancy and birth. They are trained to provide specific labour support techniques and strategies which can be personalised for your and your family's specific situation. This support can empower the birthing person and parter to achieve the birth that they choose and to open up and facilitate conversations with them and their medical caregivers. 

 

I have been trained as a Doula with Developing Doulas and am registered on Doula U.K. I am currently working with a mentor to get full accreditation on the Doula U.K website.
