FAQs
A doula is a trained, non-medical support person who offers emotional, physical, and informational support during major life transitions such as birth and end-of-life. Doulas work alongside, not instead of, your medical or clinical team.
Medical providers are responsible for clinical care and decision-making, such as monitoring vital signs, prescribing medications, and managing complications. A doula does not perform medical tasks; they focus on comfort, advocacy support, information, and emotional presence. Doulas also do not diagnose or provide psychotherapy, and they may collaborate with your therapist or counsellor if appropriate.
No. Doulas are there to support both the person going through the experience and the people around them. We can help partners feel more confident, suggest ways they can help, and offer them breaks while maintaining continuous support for you.
