Eden is passionate about doula work because she feels that everyone deserves support during labor and birth. She does not believe that there is a “right way” to give birth, but trusts that everyone can find a way that honors the unique experience of having a baby.
The role of a doula is to provide emotional support, physical comfort, and evidence-based information to help expectant parents have a safe and satisfying birth experience.
Clinical studies have shown that the presence of a doula can reduce the need for pain medication, for forceps/vacuum extraction and for cesarean section. A doula’s presence can also increase the woman’s sense of wellbeing and satisfaction with the labor and birth experience. A doula is not a healthcare provider and will not perform clinical tasks or make medical decisions.
A doula can facilitate breastfeeding and help parents adapt to the new family dynamics.
