A mother's experience, a doula's calling
I'm Deirdre, a mum of two and a certified birth and postpartum doula. I got interested in doula work following my own personal postpartum experiences. It was difficult to find consistent, expert, evidence-based advice. Doula support is entirely non-medical — I work alongside your healthcare team, not instead of it.
