Doulas provide essential support to new parents before, during and after the birthing process so they can be fully present in their transition into parenthood. Gillian, the founder of Divine Chaos Movement, understands the need for “doula-ing” individuals through all life transitions in our busy, modern world.
Typically, doulas support new families emotionally, physically and educationally. They cook for their clients, help with newborn care, and “mother the mother” as we would have done in ancient times when we lived communally. After training as a birth and postpartum doula with DONA International, Gillian realized doula-ing can and should be offered to all sorts of life transitions outside of parenthood.
