A Doula is a trained professional who provides emotional and physical support to individuals during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Unlike a midwife, a doula does not deliver babies but offers guidance, comfort, and advocacy to help parents navigate the birthing process. Doulas can assist in creating a positive birth experience by offering techniques such as breathing exercises, massage, and continuous encouragement. Their presence can help reduce anxiety and improve outcomes for both the birthing person and the baby, making them an invaluable resource in the journey of parenthood.
