Labor Doula "Divine Deliverance Doula's" – A doula (pronounced Doo-la) is a term from the Greek language meaning a "woman who serves."

Birth doulas are re-creating the woman-to-woman network of the past. Having another woman present to provide reassurance and encouragement has been seen throughout history. Unfortunately, as birth has been taken out of our communities, the experienced loving support of sisters, mothers, aunts, and friends has also diminished. Most women do not share or participate in a birth until they are experience their own. This is where a birth doula can be so helpful. We understand the emotional and physical complexities of birth, we can instill confidence and trust in you and your body. We are able to increase the intimacy of the experience for a mother and her partner by managing the fears of both parents and providing useful comfort techniques for the mother. We also help facilitate communication with your maternity care team.
