 FAQs

  • A doula is a non-medical professional who is trained in labor and childbirth support. Doulas provide emotional, physical, and informational support to their clients during pregnancy, labor, and the immediate postpartum period.

  • As your birth doula, my commitment is to help you embrace your way of bringing your child into the world. However you choose to birth, I will provide you with physical and emotional support and offer guidance to help you fulfill your birthing preferences as much as possible. Research shows that having a doula can have a positive impact on outcomes for both the birthing person and baby — with a 39% reduction in cesarean births, decreased need for pain medication, and shorter labors.

  • I am here to provide support and guidance for both you and your partner. If your partners feels comfortable, I can help them become involved in the birth to support you. If they need to take a break or rest while you’re in labor, I will remain by your side and continue to support you.

  • I will join you when you are in labor and you decide that you need my support.

  • Midwives provide medical care for you during pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. Doulas don’t provide medical services. The main job of a birth doula is to be by your side, offering non-medical techniques during labor, such as breathing, massage, and helping you move into different positions.

  • Absolutely. While you have an epidural, it may be difficult for you to get into different positions. As a doula, I can help you move into optimal positions to help baby move down. In case your epidurals doesn’t take effect or you experience side effects, I can also help you manage those situations.
