Frequently asked questions
Why should I hire a doula?
Here is a great article on the evidence for doulas.
What about dads/partners?
As your doula I do not want to take the place of your husband, mother, sister, best friend, boyfriend, partner, or anyone else you choose to have at your birth. I want to be there to give them ideas for how to best comfort and support you, to give them a break when they get tired or hungry, to take some of the pressure off, and to work together to make the birth of your baby a great experience. My goal is to work together with your partner to create a really well-rounded team.
Do you take payments?
I do! Typically 50% of the fee is due up front, and the remainder is due by 37 weeks. I am happy to split this into more payments, if that would be helpful to you! I accept cash, check, and credit card payments.
What if you get sick or can't make it to our birth?
I would be so bummed, but I wouldn't leave you hanging! I always work with at least one backup doula who I adore and completely trust. She would step in for me, and I know she would take great care of you! For an additional fee she will even attend one of our prenatal visits. That way you would be familiar with each other if she needed to step in for me.
Have you worked at the hospital/ birth center we are planning to use?
Below is a list of some of the facilities where I have worked. This list is always changing, but I am open to being your doula no matter where you chose to give birth!
