FAQs
What is a Doula
Doulas are non-medical birth workers. I provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support before, during, and immediately after birth. I work with women to educate and empower them to advocate for themselves.
When should I hire a Doula
You can hire a doula at any point during your pregnancy, but most mamas start interviewing doulas around 35ish weeks. I like to be hired a few weeks earlier than that. Plus, it's good to hire a doula sooner than later to ensure availability. I may often get booked up several months in advance.
How will hiring you affect my partner’s role during the birth?
My role is to make sure your partner shines and I make sure they feel supported as well. There may be moments where your partner is unsure of what is happening or need to step away for few minutes. I will fill the gap during those moments, but I will always be mindful and make sure they are involved as much as you want them to be or they want to be. I can also help to protect your sacred place. Meaning if family/friends become a distraction to your progress, at your request I may ask them to step away.
May I hire you just as a postpartum doula?
Yes! My standard postpartum fee is $25/hr with a 3-hour day shift minimum.
Can I buy a gift certificate or purchase your services as a baby shower gift?
Yes! A gift certificate is a perfect gift for an expecting mom. Our gift certificates may be used toward birth and/or postpartum support. Please contact me to inquire about this and include the baby’s due date.
