Can’t My Husband/Sister/Mom Be My Doula?
The (paraphrased) definition of a doula is someone (or a team of two in our case) who provides emotional, physical, and unbiased educational support to pregnant individuals and families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. And while that person doing the support can technically be anyone, we find that a professional doula is able to provide better support. Our approach of non-judgement and professional support is preferable as we are able to be completely present, while also completely unbiased at the same time.
Family Member Don’t Make The Best Doulas
Family is wonderful for many things during pregnancy and parenthood. They usually are able to throw amazing and personal baby showers. They love to pamper you and your baby with gifts, treats, and other special memories. Family loves to bring food, take pictures, brag about you to everyone they meet, and so much more. However, they don’t make the best doulas.

Unbiased Doula Support in Durham
The unbiased support we provide our doula clients is something that even the best partner, sister, or mom cannot provide. Because of their intense love for you as a person, they cannot be unbiased when it comes to your care! Nothing against them, but it is really challenging to give unbiased support to a family member.
