Need a doula? Want to be a doula?
What's a Doula?
I’m glad you asked. A doula is simply a woman (sometimes a man, but usually a woman) who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to an expectant, laboring, or new mother.
Did you catch all that? :-)
Where can I learn more about doulas?
You’re just asking all the right questions today! Well, are you a new-mom-to-be? Then, The Doula Advantage is the book you want.
In The Doula Advantage, I clearly explain exactly how a doula can help you have a more positive and more empowering childbirth experience.
(Being a mom who had quite the opposite at least once, I know what I’m talking about here. More about this later...)
"Comprehensive, thought-provoking, and highly moving. . . . A must read for any woman thinking of using the services of a doula."
— Ann Douglas, author of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books

You’ll also learn…
· Where to find a doula and how to hire one, what you can expect to pay, and how to possibly find a doula for free, or close to free.
· How doulas work with dads, helping them provide support to the laboring mother in an effective way, and to a degree that is comfortable for them.
· About special doulas who can help high-risk moms have an easier pregnancy, called antepartum doulas.
· And, about postpartum doulas — these are doulas who help moms after childbirth at home.
· About the research on doulas, which shows how doulas not only improve the emotional outcome for the mother, but also how doulas improve the relationship between the mother and father, and increase positive health outcomes for both the newborn and the new mother.
