It’s never too early to start looking for a doula! Many families hire their doula early in pregnancy, but we can also take on clients closer to their due date, depending on availability. The sooner you secure your doula, the better, to ensure you're fully supported throughout your pregnancy and birth.

How do I make payments?
It’s simple! We will send you over a secure payment link to pay with a debit/credit cards. We also accept HSA (Health Savings Account) debit cards.
At this time, We do not accept insurance for any services. However, I am happy to provide receipts that may be submitted to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about this process!

I am under the care of a Midwife, why would I need a doula?
Midwives are your medical professionals you hire to meet your medical needs during pregnancy, birth and immediate postpartum. Doulas are your non-medical, emotional, physical and educational support team who you hire to help support you, your partner and the birth you envisioned. A doula often arrives hours before you even call or see your midwife. While we aren’t interchangeable, having both a doula and a midwife makes a great team!
What happens if i need/want a Cesarean?
Birth is Birth. No matter how your birth unfolds, we are trained and educated to support you—whether your experience is vaginal or via cesarean. While the physical support may vary based on the circumstances of labor, your doula will be there every step of the way, providing as much assistance as you need or desire.
What can that look like? If permitted in the OR, we may hold your hand during the procedure, capture special moments with photos, explain what’s happening in real time, and offer comfort and reassurance. We’re also there before and after birth, waiting with you in pre-op and post-op, supporting you throughout the process. We offer birth planning sessions to help you mentally and physically prepare for birth and postpartum, along with thoughtful suggestions, resources, and expert wisdom to guide you.
When you hire a doula to support you in birth, you’re hiring them to support the entire team - including your partner. It is important that everyone is in agreement with how and what support looks like. I encourage partners to always be on our consults so that they can better understand the role of a doula, answer any questions they may have, or ease some fears of being replaced or not needed.
What if my partner doesn’t want a doula present?
We Work For You.
We are not hired by the hospital—we are hired by you to provide evidence-based, unbiased information throughout your birth journey. Our role is to ensure you are fully informed of all your options during labor, empowering you to make the best choices for your birth, exactly as you envision it.
Our private classes create a safe, supportive space where you can ask questions, express your thoughts openly, and learn at your own pace, all while working around your schedule.
