Doula in the News!
17Feb2010 Filed under: doula Author: doula
This past October I was interviewed by the Chicago area TribLocal newspaper about being a doula and what role we play in the birth process. I love how she talks about the role of doulas supporting dads and partners as well.
I really enjoyed the interview because it made me realize how much I really love what I get to do as a doula and childbirth educator.

I believe that birth is a natural, physiological, emotional, and spiritual process. The female body is designed to give birth. Women who are encouraged, supported, and informed can have incredible and empowering births.
Every woman is different, every birth is different, and every baby is different, however every woman and family deserves support, compassion, and flexibility during the journey of birth.
As a doula my role is to facilitate the natural process - giving the mother every opportunity to allow her birth to unfold. contact

Thanks Erin! I just hope that getting to word out will encourage more people to consider their options when they are pregnant!
