As a Registered Nurse and Birth Doula, I have witnessed the power of emotional support during difficult medical events time and time again. The value of that support is absolutely immeasurable, and can sometimes make all the difference. 

A Doula can be an incredible resource, bringing expertise and experience during a time that can feel overwhelming. Doulas teach techniques to manage stress and pain, provide comfort and support, and can also act as a liaison during the labor process, communicating with medical professionals to advocate for the couple during a time when they may find it difficult to articulate their wishes. Although Doulas may not be within easy financial reach for everyone, some of the techniques they use are quite simple, and can be readily taught. 

The DoolaLux Esssentials Kit makes it easy for close companions to play an active role in providing comfort, emotional, and physical support to the Hero (the birthing person) through pregnancy and labor.

This kit was designed with inclusivity in mind. The information in our guidebook can be used by anyone, regardless of culture, nationality, ethnic or religious background, gender identity, or sexual orientation. It can be used in any birth setting, from hospital to birthing center to home.
