The role of a doula...

The term doula comes from ancient Greece meaning “servant to women”

The aim of a doula is to enhance the well being of the mother during pregnancy, labour and birth. We do not clinically manage the birth but are employed privately by women to give emotional informational and physical support through the birth process.

Current research shows that women who utilise the services of a doula can expect:

  • an epidural use rate reduced by 60%
  • a 50% less chance of a caesarean birth
  • syntocin use reduced by 40%
  • narcotics use reduced by 30%
  • forceps use reduced by 30%
  • the length of labour to be reduced by 25%
