A Doula is a trained professional who comes into your home to provide care, nurturing, empowerment and education to women and their families before, during or after the birth or adoption of a new baby. They perform a broad array of tasks from household chores to caring for other children in the home or just giving mom a break so she can get some much needed rest. They also give classes on topics of interest to expectant and new moms.
This is a wonderful service. If it existed 26 years ago when I became a new mom, I certainly didn't know about it. So spread the word!
