Choosing the right Tampa Doula for you may be overwhelming. I’ve compiled a list of the Top 3 Tampa-based doulas and the services they provide.

What is a doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to their client before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible (DONA, 2023). Most often, labor doulas are hired to offer support for the birthing person during birth. This could be helping with comfort techniques such as massage and touch to help with breathing techniques.

I highly recommend interviewing a few different doulas to find the right fit for you! The top 3 Tampa Doulas are…
