What is a Doula

A doula is a non-medical professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals during significant health-related experiences, such as childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion, or stillbirth.

"A postpartum doula offers educational and practical support in the home during the initial weeks and months after childbirth. Their services include emotional support, infant care, breastfeeding assistance, and household organization as the family adjusts to the new baby"

What is an Asian-Style Doula?

An Asian-style doula integrates traditional Asian postpartum practices, such as "zuo-yue-zi" (坐月子) in Chinese culture or "sanhujori" in Korean culture, with modern care techniques. These practices emphasize rest, nutrition, and specific rituals to aid recovery and promote well-being.
