Why Doula?

4/6/2019

 
I have been asked so many times since kicking off my certification process, "Why do you want to be a doula?"  "Wait, isn't doula Greek for servant?"  "Isn't that like being a housekeeper." "A babysitter?"  So, no and no!  After I had a baby and a nightmarish experience birthing and recovering, I asked myself, 'there must be a better way....right?"  

So that kicked off the desire to doula.  Settling into the new normal of being a parent is a road that is filled with joy, fear and overwhelming moments of questions and concern.

A Postpartum Doula is there to help you heal, listen, care, and take care of your whole family. How I wished I had known more about what services a Doula can provide such as; education, guidance, physical support and resources.

I have always worked in a support role throughout my work life, so being a doula is an extension of that role.  Providing the support that I could have seriously used when I was a new parent.  So why Doula????? Why NOT?
