What / Who is a Doula?

Doula is a person who comforts woman before, during and after birth. In her work she can combine yoga, hypnobirthing, massage techniques, aromatherapy, acupressure and so much more. Her role is to support woman and her partner in their birth choices.

If you are going to give birth in Bangkok, having a doula will help you to know all the particular qualities of local medical care and be more content with your childbirth experience.

What our parents say...

After my first son was born by c-section I wanted to try natural birth with my daughter. ! I was worried and had my doubts. Labor took 15 hours and it was a successful VBAC, I m sure I made because of your support! Thank you especially for those massages and reassuring words, you were caring like a mother and anchoring me in the present moment. I was able to relax in between contraction. I m calling you for my third birth for sure.

For certain medical reasons my all natural dream birth turned out to be a c-section. But I m so grateful we had you there with us. Thank you for explaining me each step I was about to go through. It helped me not to panic during surgery and prepare my husband, Alex to be such a good support.

Thank you so much for your support, guidance and friendship over the past weeks. The prenatal yoga sessions were inspiring, helpful and encouraging. Having your input into the process lead us to the best decision for our baby and what we would not have had the confidence to do without you. Thank you for helping us make our dream come true!

It was such a blessing to have you there with us for Avi’s birth! You made the experience more enjoyable and peaceful for me.
