What are the benefits of having a doula?
​
**Physical Support**
Doulas provide comfort and labor progression through hands-on techniques like soothing touch, counter pressure, and breathing methods, often to as "doula magic." Their skilled hands and positioning strategies can assist a baby in navigating the pelvis and reaching the birthing parent's arms.
​
**Emotional Support**
Doulas offer essential emotional support to families, enhancing the birth and fostering an environment conducive to a holistic and calm labor experience. Regardless of whether the birth is unmedicated or involves complex medical interventions, everyone can benefit from the nurturing connection during this remarkable time.
​
**Partner Support**
The experience of the birth partner—be it a partner, friend, or family member—plays crucial role in the birthing process. Doulas are dedicated to supporting each partner, allowing them to engage as much as they wish, with physical and emotional assistance making a significant impact on everyone.
​
**Evidence-Based Information and Advocacy**
Doulas are equipped to help families access evidence-based resources, empowering them ask informed questions and make educated choices about their births. They facilitate communication between clients and hospital staff, helping families find their voices and advocate for optimal care.
