Make decisions for you
A doula provides encouragement, emotional and physical labour support, comfort measures for birth, and the informational support necessary for you to make your own informed decisions.

I will not speak to medical staff regarding matters when health care decisions are being made. I will support your in discussions with staff making sure you have the opportunity to voice concerns.
