“Doula” is a Greek word which means “female servant” or “helper”. Today, the title refers to a professionally trained woman who provides support services and knowledgeable care to childbearing women and families.
While doulas are well-informed about new mothers and babies, they are not medical care providers and are not licensed to perform medial assessment or treatment.
A professional Doula provides the much needed support services of quality childbirth education and mothering support services.
