What Is a doula?

As you know we are BIG advocates of doulas over here at The Calm Birth School, although, we talk about it at length during our course, one of the most common question we receive is, what is a doula? Alongside why do doulas have such a positive impact on the way a woman experiences labour?  So we are delighted to welcome Mars Lord, Co Vice Chair of Doula UK and founder of Mammy Doula to The Calm Birth School Towers, to talk to you about all things doula.
