WHAT IS A DOULA/BIRTH WORKER?

Doula/Birth Worker

A doula, or birth worker, provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. Their role is to guide and advocate for mothers so they feel empowered, cared for, and confident throughout their journey.

At Ajaluna Wellness, we honor birth as more than a medical event—it is a sacred, transformational experience. Our doulas walk alongside you with compassion and care, helping you move through this season with trust and ease.

The Role of a Doula

Unwavering Support During Labor

Labor can be unpredictable, but with a doula by your side, you are never alone. Our birth doulas provide:

Continuous hands-on support to ensure you feel safe and grounded.

Pain management techniques such as guided breathing, massage, and position changes to enhance comfort.

A calming presence to ease stress and promote relaxation throughout labor and delivery.

Emotional & Mental Support

Giving birth is as much a mental and emotional experience as it is physical. Our doulas provide:

A nurturing, non-judgmental space to express fears, hopes, and desires for your birth.

Encouragement and affirmation to build confidence in your body’s ability to birth.

A trusted presence to alleviate stress, anxiety, and uncertainty.

Education & Advocacy

Every birth journey is unique, and knowledge is power. We equip you with:

Evidence-based insights into birthing options, pain relief methods, and medical interventions.

Guidance in creating a birth plan that aligns with your values and preferences.

Advocacy and communication support to ensure your wishes are respected within the healthcare system.

Postpartum Guidance

The journey doesn’t end at birth—postpartum is a crucial period of recovery and adjustment. Our doulas provide:

Breastfeeding support and newborn care education.

Gentle postpartum recovery guidance tailored to your body’s healing process.

Emotional support to help ease the transition into motherhood.
