eDoula founders Bettina and Martin are OBs who trained both in Europe and in the US – and they noticed that professional pregnancy and childbirth support was rare in the US compared to Europe.
They saw how doulas fill this role in the US and help moms and families, doctors and nurses all contribute to the best birth experience. Despite this, only 5% of families in the US have access to a doula due to both limited availability and high cost.
When Bettina and Martin met doula legend Penny, they hit it off right away and got to work creating a revolutionary solution to give families the tools that are missing in current US pregnancy care.
They gathered the best doulas, obstetricians, lactation consultants, physical therapists, and childbirth educators to give you practical advice, daily practice routines and proven strategies based on their years of caring for families and available science.
