Certified Labor Doula
A Certified Labor Doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to a woman and her partner during labor and childbirth. Unlike medical staff, a doula's role is non-clinical; they focus on comfort measures, such as breathing techniques and positioning, and help the family navigate the birthing process. Doulas can also assist with creating a birth plan and offer guidance on postpartum care. Their goal is to enhance the birthing experience, promote a sense of security, and empower families through education and support.
