The definition, role, and responsibilities of a doula
a birth worker (doula)
is a specially trained birth companion that provides support for women and families during pregnancy, labor and after birth. A doula does not perform any clinical procedures; rather they provide emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual support. This level of support can lead to healthier pregnancies, a more positive and empowering birth experience, and increased breastfeeding and bonding in the postpartum period.
as a birth worker (doula)
I recognize that we have the honor of walking with our relatives throughout their journey and will provide non-judgmental compassionate care to each person.
I support body Sovereignty, meaning that I support and empower
each person to make choices regarding their own body and health.
My responsibility is to make sure that the birthing
mom feels safe, loved, and supported.
as a birth worker (doula)
I DO NOT replace professional medical care,
rather they enhance the communication and
relationship between families and care providers.
