Reviews Of The DOULA! Film

"This film has some of the most amazing waterbirth/pushing video I have ever seen and shows mothers in various phases of labor, managing labor with nonpharmacological pain relief methods such as positioning, hydrotherapy, walking, squatting, breathing, focusing, vocalization and more!  Such joy, confidence and relaxation on the mother and father’s faces ~ the way birth should be!"
Connie Livingston, President, Perinatal Education Associates (BirthSource)

‘This film shows how the calm accepting presence of a doula can enhance the whole experience of childbirth. From the practical to the emotional, we become aware of some of the work an intuitive doula can do. A doula blends in with the atmosphere she helps to create, allowing the parents the time and space to focus on what is important to them. During the birth and postnatal period she is able to provide continuity, accommodate their needs and complement the role of the midwife.’
Bridget Baker, Co-Chair, Doula UK

"The film gave me goosebumps and I had tears streaming down my cheeks. An amazing film!"
