Hiring a doula makes a significant difference in a couples labor and birth experience. Many couples report they wished they had used a doula with their first baby, after having a second or third child with a doula present. The doulas listed are all willing to travel and work in both hospital and home settings all over Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Why Do I need a Doula?
A randomized controlled trial.

Doula Groups
Doula groups are usually ran by one or two individuals who bring doulas in to join their team and to be mentored into the role as a doula for the company. The mothers and doulas we work with may not know all of the doulas in the groups listed to be able to individually add them to our list or refer to them directly. ABC has listed the groups with a great reputation as a whole.
Ambiance Birth 404-805-2059 Ambiance Birth offers doula, midwifery and childbirth education referral services for parents seeking quality maternity care specialists. The doulas are located all over Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.
What is Support?
Support is unconditional. It is listening, not
judging, not telling your own story.
Support is not offering advice. It is offering
a touch, a hug, a tissue…caring.
We are here to listen…not to work miracles.
We are here to help women discover what
they are feeling…not to make the feelings
go away.
We are here to help a woman identify her
options…not to tell her which options to
choose.
We are here to discuss steps with a woman…
not to take steps for her.
We are here to help a woman discover her
own strength…not to rescue her and leave
her still vulnerable.
We are here to help a woman discover she
can help herself…not to take responsibility
for her.
We are here to help a woman learn to
choose…not to make it unnecessary for her
to make difficult choices.
