FAQs

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support during major life transitions—such as pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Doulas focus on your overall experience, offering steady support to help you navigate each moment with clarity and confidence. Doulas are not medical providers and always work within their scope.

Research shows that doulas are linked to shorter labors, fewer interventions (like epidurals or cesareans), and more positive birth experiences. Parents supported by doulas also report higher breastfeeding rates and general improved outcomes for both parent and baby.

A postpartum doula provides hands-on and heart-centered care in the initial weeks and months after birth—helping with your newborn, feeding support, emotional wellness, light household tasks, and overall family adjustment. Postpartum doulas support the whole family—not just the baby. The goal is a gentler, more supported transition for everyone.

If you want to feel informed, supported, and seen during your journey, a doula can help. Many clients say, “I didn’t know what I didn’t know”—and that’s where a doula makes all the difference!
