Birth Doula Services: Your Companion for the Journey
Doula | noun| doo·â€‹la
a trained professional who provides continuous physical comfort, emotional and informational support to a parent before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
Our Philosophy
At DoudouKare, we believe that every birthing person deserves to feel respected, heard, and supported throughout their birth journey. We are here to help you comb through your options, demystify the experiences of labor and birth that are often hidden behind closed doors in our modern culture, and provide you with the tools necessary to make empowered and informed decisions for your highest well-being. We embrace all types of families and birth choices, and we are committed to reproductive justice and your right to choose the environment that feels right for you.
​
A positive birth experience does not mean everything goes perfectly. It means that you feel surrounded by love and support, and that you have a voice that is heard. Our birth doula services start from a foundation of compassion. By listening to you and responding to your needs, the physical and emotional support we provide comes from a place of intuitive compassion. We are here to ensure that, no matter how your birth unfolds, you feel empowered and cared for.
