Partners and family of Mom experience peace of mind and stress relief with the knowledge and support of the Doula.  A doula is also providing support for the partner and family in caring for their needs as well.  A doula can really help to bring partner and Mom even closer during the process by guiding the partner in different things they can do to support mom and feel at ease with this big life experience.
