This week we’re discussing the important roles of doulas with our own Pansay Tayo, doula and owner of Sacred Butterfly Births. We will discuss different ways that doulas are able to provide support during the birth continuum, and why they can play such a pivotal role in having an empowered birth. We will also identify some of the challenges facing this role, and misconceptions they would like to correct.
For more information about doulas, please check out this article from the American Pregnancy Association that explains some of the benefits and research that validates this role. You can also find a doula to support you on DoulaMatch.
