Doula & Pregnancy Services
Online Directory of recommended members of The MAW Network who provide doula & pregnancy services including their contact details & social media links.
I had wanted to become a doula for over 20 years, and then an opportunity presented itself early 2019. Since then I have immersed myself with pregnant mummies, new mummies, new families and new babies. I am passionate about women having a positive birth experience no matter the twists and turn their labour may take them on. I also feel supporting the new mummy, and new family is so vital as our families are spread out around the globe, and conflicting advice is given that may be unhelpful, and unsupported. My aspiration when supporting a mum: ” A doula will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to see the family through a safe and satisfying birth, as desired by THE FAMILY” I offer labour and birth support.

What is a Doula?
A doula is a person who provides emotional and physical support to you during your pregnancy and childbirth. Doulas are not medical professionals. They don’t deliver babies or provide medical care. A certified doula has taken a training program. They passed an exam in how to help pregnant women and their families during this exciting but challenging experience.
Why You Might Want to Choose a Doula
A doula can help you and the dad-to-be have a positive and safe birth experience:
- During labor, a doula can take over coaching now and then to give the dad a break.
- When desired, a doula can completely free the dad-to-be from coaching tasks — and from having to remember the instructions from your childbirth classes. He can enjoy the process and focus on supporting you emotionally.
- Studies show that women who use a doula have shorter labors, are less likely to need a C-section, request less pain medication, and have a more positive childbirth experience.
- Moms who used doulas after birth may have more success with breastfeeding.
