      <image:caption>What is a doula? A doula helps birthing people and their families feel safe, informed, and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and during the postpartum period. In her role as doula, Ruth empowers the birthing person (and partner, where applicable) to make informed decisions each step of the way. For more comprehensive information on the benefits of having a doula, visit Evidence Based Birth.</image:caption>
