What is a Size-Friendly Doula?

A doula offers ongoing physical, emotional, and educational support to families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Although not medical professionals, doulas draw on extensive training and personal experience to guide families through maternity care.

A size-friendly doula is a birth or postpartum professional who specializes in providing size-inclusive support tailored to the unique needs of larger-bodied individuals. 

These doulas possess a deep understanding of the specific challenges and societal biases that can affect the birthing experience for plus-size individuals. 

They possess training in delivering emotional and physical support while also advocating for their clients' needs and preferences.

Size-friendly doulas are committed to creating a positive and affirming space for all families, recognizing the diversity of body sizes and shapes. 

Their practice is rooted in evidence-based care, empathy, and a profound respect for each client's personal journey.
