I strongly believe that all women, regardless of their preferred mode of birth, are deserving of support and respect for their choices. I provide unbiased information to help you identify what a positive birth looks like for you. My responsibility is also to listen and to ensure that your choices are made from a place of knowledge and self-awareness. While I am passionate about natural birth because of the long-term physical and psychological benefits for mother and baby, I am also aware that every woman has different needs and values. A doula’s role is not to judge, but to nurture and accompany women on their personal path to motherhood.
Do doulas only work with women wanting natural childbirth? Would I benefit from a doula even if I’m having a scheduled Caesarean birth?
