What is a Doula?

"Women across the globe appreciate and value the experience of having a doula – a knowledgeable, experienced companion – who stays with them through labor, birth and beyond. Birth doulas offer emotional support, encouragement and wisdom throughout labor and birth. Postpartum doulas support women and families through the transformation that a new baby brings to a family." -DONA International   05/27/2008 Doula Association of the Mountain Area PO Box 1822 Asheville, NC 28802 (828) 258-4873 | Contact Us   | Disclaimer
