Looking for a Doula in Toronto, but not sure what they do?  What is a doula?

A doula is…

A woman who provides support to the mother and her partner that is unconditional. She will listen, and not judge, she is there to help empower you to make the right decisions that are best for you and your baby. A doula is a special part of your incredible journey of birth; doulas create a bond of trust, comfort, knowledge and positive encouragement. A doula is someone that is consistently with you throughout your entire labour, the relationship between you is a bond held together by sincere compassion and trust. A doula has experience recognizing cues, sounds, and facial expressions and is able to respond with the appropriate comfort encouragement.

Toronto Doula Services….Pregnancy through Postpartum

Kelly is a birth doula, a graduate from Childbirth International who offers pregnancy and postpartum services. Her services include creation of birth plans, labour management using postures, movement, imagery, breathing techniques and massage. She will also discuss your partners role during birth and the pros and cons of interventions. As a Toronto doula, Kelly is available for phone calls 24/7 two weeks before your estimated due date, and when you are in labour, she will meet you at your home within approximately one hour and travel with you to the hospital. Following the birth, she will stay one to two hours until you feel comfortable with feeding.
