Successful beginning-of-life care and end-of-life care require a combination of both medical and non-medical support. Non-medical physical, emotional, and informational support can come in the form of a doula. Doulas are trained companions and coaches who provide attention and support that medical professionals may not have the time or ability to provide for patients. Birth doulas help mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and during the postpartum period immediately after their pregnancies have ended.
Emilie Adams is a DONA trained birth doula and lactation specialist who is helping new mothers by providing non-medical beginning-of-life care. On this Healthcetera podcast, Diana Mason, PhD, RN, hosts Emilie Adams for a conversation about the role of doulas and the many benefits of utilizing one.
