“Doulas are advocates for birthing rights, for informed consent and for families as the ultimate decision makers. Doulas do not need to save people from birth! Doulas help navigate evidence-based information, ask questions to help better understand all options and hold space for birthing families to make their own decisions without judgment. The doula’s role is one without an agenda but instead a vested interest in advocating for a family’s own choices.”
