Compassionate Support Through Your Journey

What Is an Abortion Doula?

An abortion doula is a trained professional dedicated to offering personalized emotional, physical, and informational support during the abortion process. Whether your experience involves a medical or surgical procedure, an abortion doula walks with you every step of the way, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered.
Unlike medical staff, whose primary focus is the procedure itself, your doula focuses entirely on you—providing a calming presence, practical guidance, and compassionate care.

Why Doula Support Matters

Making decisions about your body and health can be overwhelming, and the actual process of abortion may feel isolating or emotionally complex. Here’s how our support helps during this critical time:

  • Emotional Support: Many people experience a mix of emotions during this time—including relief, sadness, or uncertainty. Our presence provides a steady source of comfort and validation, no matter how you feel.
  • Physical Support: Your doula is there to offer grounding techniques, breathing exercises, or even a steady hand to hold if you need it.
  • Informational Support: We take the time to answer your questions, walk through options, and dispel myths so you feel clear, confident, and informed throughout the process.
