Every woman deserves to have a team of nurturing, knowledgeable and proactive people supporting her as she gives birth; her system of care providers should be in place to handle issues A through Z. Birth Doula or Birth Assistant is one such team member that is becoming a commonplace during labor and delivery. S(he) is there to provide emotional and informational support for mother, baby and father, as well as, act as a liaison between parent(s) and midwife or doctor.
A desire for natural, safe and non-invasive birthing is on the rise as mothers want to forgo the possible negative side effects of conventional medication and fully feel and embrace their bodies and babies. With this intention of holistic birthing, your Doula should be equipped with natural therapy knowledge and training to participate in fulfilling your wishes.
Your Doula should be able to administer a multitude of natural therapy services, such as Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Massage, Flower Essences, Homeopathy, Crystal Therapy, Hypnosis, Herbal Care and Energywork; all are non-invasive, holistic approaches that are gentle and effective without any harm to mother and baby. The natural therapy approach is designed to safely assist pain management, emotional upsets, breech support, delayed labor and birth, c-section support, maintaining/increasing breast milk flow and much more.
When researching the service of a Birth Doula, ask about other credentials that will support your best childbirth experience.
