Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is a doula?
"Doula" is a Greek word meaning "a woman who serves." Today, "doula" refers to a professional trained to provide emotional, physical and informational support to birthing people throughout their pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. A doula is also known as a birthkeeper, birth companion, and birth coach. Studies show that people who received continuous support from a doula have positive birth experiences and better health outcomes. Check out the resource page for more info!
+ How will hiring you affect my partner’s role during the birth?
Your partner/support person knows you best! I work with them by encouraging and offering them guidance on how to best support you during your labor and birth.
+ Do you offer payment plans?
Payment plans are available upon request. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your options so we can find a plan that works for you and your budget!
+ Why should I hire a Virtual Doula?
With the COVID-19 pandemic we are seeing that doulas are needed now more than ever. Although many hospitals are only allowing one support person, you still deserve to have a doula even if that means using technology and doing things virtually through Facetime or Zoom.
