What is a Doula?

---

At Grotto Doula, we believe that childbirth is a normal, healthy process and that every woman deserves the right to choose how, when, and where she gives birth. We support evidence-based practices and strive to provide individualized support that meets the unique needs and preferences of each family.

Doulas are prepared for a variety of birth scenarios and are trained in the use of the birth ball,  comfort cloth (Rebozo), birth comb, hypnobirthing, water birthing, the Bradley Method, Lamaze, etc.

Our Doulas are trained by DONA International. This certification includes coursework in breastfeeding and lactation, pre and postnatal support, and  therapeutic labor techniques designed to give you a more empowered labor

The saying goes, "It takes a village." At Grotto Doula, we network with many local and international birth workers to help connect you with the right provider for your needs, including but not limited to, Acupuncturist, Sound Healer, Hypnotherapist and more!
