"Doula" is a woman who serves as an advocate to the mother and baby
during pregnancy, labor, and birth.What
makes a Holistic Doula special is she is trained to use tools like Essential
Oils, Bach Flower Remedies, Reflexology, Homeopathics, Herbs and Massage to
help you find comfort during your pregnancy and labor.
There are many elements to birth; Mental,
Spiritual, Emotional and of course, Physical.Having a Holistic Doula means hiring someone who can assist in all of
these areas.Her presence often brings
an undeniable change to the entire room. Peacefulness, confidence, compassion,
knowledge and her full attention are just a few of the common experiences she
offers. Doulas believe that any woman who chooses
to give birth naturally has the ability within her, and should be supported in
her desire to do so. Whether she chooses to birth at home or in a hospital, a Holistic Doula brings peace to any environment. The main goal is to
empower mom to make choices that feel right for her and her family and to
providetools for giving birth naturally
and peacefully.
