Doula Service in Pembroke Pines
What is a Doula?
"Doula" stems from the ancient Greek word, that means "a woman who
serves," and today the word is used to refer to a trained, experienced and
certified professional
that provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to
mothers-to-be before, during and after their child birth. It is also been defined as a person who bestows emotional and
practical support during the postpartum period.
Our Doula Service in Pembroke Pines is backed by studies, articles and
professionals, that have proven when doulas attend births, labor tends to
be shorter with
fewer complications, babies are healthier, and breastfeeding comes easier.
