The Tri- Fold of my Divine Doula Support
Emotional Support
Pregnancy, labor/delivery, and the postpartum transition tends to be stressful times for families. With a doula as a member of your support team, you have someone holding space for you to truthfully feel through all of the emotions.
Evidence Based Informational Support
The goal as a doula is to provide current, fact-based information to families so that they can make informed decisions for them & their baby. Providing resources curated for your specific needs is one of the ways a doula can alleviate stress.
Physical Support
One of the goals, if not THE main goal, of a doula is to make labor & delivery as ‘comfortable’ as possible. Comfort measures include massage, acupressure, ambiance setting, partner coaching, and breathing techniques.
