Debbie the Doula

Debbie the Doula The Purpose and Value of Labor Support

The doula supports the mother, partner and family during labor and delivery.

Debbie Mangel is a trained and experienced labor companion who provides the birth mother and her companion continuous emotional support, physical comfort and assistance in obtaining information before, during and just after childbirth. In nearly all societies for which we have records, women have been helped and comforted in labor by other women. These women stayed throughout labor providing physi

cal comfort, emotional reassurance, and information. Today, labor support professionals called doulas (DOO-lah; Greek for "woman who serves") are trained to provide the comfort and care women need
during labor. A doula is free to be continuously present; she gives priority to warm, nurturing encouraging behavior and has a comfortable relationship with the mother. The doula knows the mothers preferences, concerns and priorities, and helps with communication. She enhances a partner’s participation while looking after the partners needs. The doula understands and works to enhance emotional aspects of labor, knows and uses comfort measures and strategies to promote progress, and has considerable experience with laboring women. The doula remains calm and objective and is responsible only to the Moms needs. Debbie is certified by DONA International http://douladebbiephiladelphia.com/

Join me at for a spring 8 week postpartum yoga and support series! In this 8 week series we will expand our body movements during yoga, slowly layering on more challenging movements. Each week we will also focus on different discussion topics for the support portion of the class. Topics will include sleep, feeding, tummy time, infant massage and more! This is a supportive, nonjudgmental environment for parents. Please feel free to feed or comfort your baby as needed. The benefits of the class go beyond movement, sharing the space, the breath and supporting one another is equally as important to moving your body!
