Frequently Asked Questions

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth to help you achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. 

Research shows that having the continuous support of a doula can improve outcomes for both mother and baby.  These improved outcomes include shorter labor time, fewer medical interventions and fewer c-sections.

www.evidencebasedbirth.com has an article titled Evidence on: Doulas for more information.

I offer a range of services including prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care. I also customize birth plans and provide tools for informed decision-making. I am continuously available by text or call once the contract is signed, and will be on call 24/7 from 38 weeks onward.

During prenatal visits we will discuss your birth plan, address any concerns with evidence-based research, and provide you with the support you need to prepare for a BETTER childbirth experience.

I work collaboratively with your medical team to ensure your birth plan is respected and that you recieve the most comprehensive care. My role is to provide continuous support  and facilitate communication between you and your medical team.

I understand the importance of affordable care for expectant parents. My goal is to make doula services accessible to all families. I offer individualized care that fits your budget and provides valuable support throughout your pregnancy and beyond.  Flexible payment plans are available.

It's best to hire a doula early in pregnancy to gain the most benefit and to build a trust relationship. However, it's never too late!  

I am privileged to belong to a group of doulas who provide back-up services for each other. We care for each others' clients as we would our own.  So, if I am unexpectedly unable to attend your birth, you would not be left without support.  I book my back-up doula once we have a signed contract.

I am comfortable in the setting of your choosing - hospital, home or birth cottage.
