WHAT IS A DOULA?

As a Doula I addresses the mind, body, and spirit through intuitive healing practices. My trainings, experiences and the evidence based approach, lead me to work in the knowledge that parts of something are intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.

The doula's vocation is to accompany and support the childbearing person and their partners during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period, thanks to their experience and trainings. This only in addition to the medical follow-up chosen by the parents. (hospital, clinic, liberal midwife, etc.).
They support without discrimination linked to origins, religion or sexual preference. A Doula has no medical function. It supports the work of medical staff and acts in collaboration with them for the well-being of parents and babies while advocating for your rights and desires.

Are you ready for the wildest experience of your life ?

SOME NUMBERS

Studies have shown the benefits of having a doula  :

  • easier childbirth

  • a better childbirth experience

  • 60% reduction in epidural demand

  • 50% reduction in cesarean section rate

  • 40% reduction in the use of forceps

  • 30% reduction in painkiller use

  • 25% reduction of labour time

  • Six weeks after birth, childbearing people  accompanied by a doula showed fewer signs of anxiety and depression, felt more confident with their baby, more satisfied in their couple relationship (71% versus 30%), with a higher body/chest/breast feeding rate (52% against 29%).
