What's a doula? Interview with Teresa Worthy Howard

Teresa Worthy Howard

A doula is a Greek word meaning "servant" and in this episode, we explore what that has come to mean as more women are choosing to birth with a doula. As we interview Teresa Howard, certified doula, and certified childbirth and lactation educator, Teresa explains the role of a doula, both before, during and after birth. We talk about doula training and certification, costs and benefits of birthing with the help of a doula.
