Doulas are trained, non-medical professionals who provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to women before, during and after childbirth, to facilitate the best possible birth experience.  The doula supports the woman throughout labour and childbirth.

Doulas registered with Doula UK are self-employed and clients pay them directly.  How much a doula charges will vary depending on the area they work in, their level of experience, what they include in the fee and what they feel their service is worth.  In addition some doulas may volunteer through various projects including the Doula Access Fund or work within the NHS.

Doula UK recommends parents contact individual doulas and discuss their package and fees directly.

Many doulas have some flexibility about their fees and how they are paid, so if you looking to book a doula, but are concerned you cannot afford their fees – it is worth talking with a few local doulas to see if they can help.
