A new space for motherhood is inaugurated on May 17 in La Coruña, conceived as a Maternal and Family Support and Information Center, called "Ser doulas". Its objective is to offer attention to women who need a doula during their pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum and to help mothers and families who go to the center in any way possible.
The concept of this center is based on what is a doula for its members, an ancient way of supporting women in the process of becoming mothers, without judgments, as facilitators and companions.
To be a doula is to take care of the interior of mothers and future mothers, listen to their feelings, their needs, their bowels, say what is necessary and shut up when it is the best option. Accompany on the most beautiful trip a woman will ever do: motherhood. See how she becomes another person and show her how to enjoy it without any hesitation, listening to herself and her son. Being Doula is ... being.
They offer a very complete range of activities. For pregnancy a support group, relaxation, meditation, pilates, yoga, belly dance, pelvic floor workshops are scheduled.
There will also be workshops and talks on pregnancy feeding, newborn massage, breastfeeding, homeopathy and emotional preparation.
In addition, for the postpartum there is a support group, yoga, sensory stimulation, portage and parenting workshops and even a yoga group for children.
They also offer the possibility of family counseling and individualized support for pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, personalized advice on specific topics and workshops for other centers.
Ser Doulas, this advice and information center , it is a beautiful project, oriented towards families, without pretending to teach or educate, but to offer information and that necessary accompaniment in those moments in which our life and ourselves change profoundly.
