Founded in 1997 Desert
Doulas is committed to supporting women in their choices for
childbirth, helping them grow in confidence during their pregnancy
and labor, and when bringing baby home. As doulas our goal is to
listen to families and show respect for their culture, ideas and
customs.

Doula is a Greek word meaning a "woman who gives
another woman support and assistance". As a trained childbirth
assistant, a birth doula provides continuous emotional and physical support
throughout a woman's labor. The idea of the doula comes from the
tradition of women helping women in and after childbirth, to make the birth
and transition into a new family a
positive and rewarding experience.
