What is a doula?
A doula is a non-medical, trained professional who provides physical, emotional, informational, and advocacy support throughout the reproductive journey. In Black and Brown communities, the role of the doula is deeply rooted in tradition, where Indigenous doulas, often elder women, offered care that was not only practical but also spiritual and culturally resonant. These women carried the wisdom of birth practices passed down through generations, using traditional techniques and rituals to support mothers during labor. Today, modern Indigenous doulas honor this legacy, blending cultural knowledge with contemporary practices to create a safe and empowering birthing experience. As your doula, I will stand beside you every step of the way, offering continuous, regardless of the decisions you make or how your plans may evolve.

What is a doula?
A doula is a non-clinical trained professional providing physical, emotional, informational, and advocacy support throughout the childbirth process. In traditional Black and Brown communities, Indigenous doulas, often elder women, offered holistic care rooted in cultural and spiritual practices with knowledge of birth practices passed down through generations. They provided continuous support during labor using traditional techniques and rituals. Today, modern Indigenous doulas continue this legacy, integrating cultural wisdom with contemporary practices. Prosparetti currently offers in person (WA only) and virtual,pregnancy, birth, and postpardum doula services.
What Does a Doula Do?
As your doula, my goal is to provide comprehensive support tailored to your unique needs. The role encompasses informational, physical, emotional, and advocacy support to ensure you feel empowered and cared for throughout your childbirth journey.
Informational Support
Together, we navigate your questions, explore curated resource lists, and connect you with local resources. Whether it's during pregnancy, labor, or postpartum, we work to ensure you understand every aspect of the process. The aim is to empower you with knowledge so you feel confident and informed. Postpartum, support extends to answering questions about both your recovery and your baby's well-being.
Physical Support
Physical support is a cornerstone of doula services, regardless of the type you seek. Assistance with positioning, massage, counter-pressure, and other hands-on techniques during labor helps alleviate discomfort and facilitate labor progress. Postpartum, support includes help around the house, assistance with baby care, and guidance for your physical recovery. The birth support team is also prepared to provide effective physical support according to your preferences.
Emotional Support
Emotional support means being present for you, no matter what you're feeling. By listening, validating your experiences, and helping you strategize through any challenges, we create a supportive space for you to express yourself. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are significant life transitions that can bring up a range of emotions. The goal is to provide non-judgmental, supportive care and connect you with additional resources if needed. Emotional support begins the moment we start working together and continues at every stage.
Advocacy
Advocacy ensures that your needs and preferences are respected and communicated. By getting to know you, understanding your non-negotiables, and how you wish to be supported, together we develop strategies for self-advocacy and involve your support team effectively. As a doula, the priority is to make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported throughout your experience.
Why Choose a Holistic Doula?
Choosing a holistic doula means embracing care that considers your entire being—mind, body, and spirit. Integrating traditional wisdom with modern practices, focusing on the interconnectedness of all aspects of your health. This holistic approach includes body-centered practices such as yoga, self-care plans, and somatic healing techniques, all aimed at nurturing your overall well-being during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. By choosing a holistic doula, you receive personalized, culturally sensitive support that honors your unique journey and promotes healing and empowerment at every step.
