FAQs

  • A doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth. This can help reduce anxiety, provide comfort measures, and help you feel more empowered and confident in your birth experience. Studies have shown that having a doula can also lead to shorter labors, fewer medical interventions, and a more positive overall birth experience.

  • No, a doula is meant to complement and enhance the support provided by your partner or family members, not replace it. Doulas are there to provide additional support and guidance for both you and your partner throughout the birth process.

  • It's important to find a doula who you feel comfortable with and who shares your birth philosophy. If for any reason you or your partner don't feel comfortable with me, it's okay to look for another one! I’m also happy to give recommendations for other doulas that may be a better fit for you.

  • Birth plans can change for a variety of reasons, and doulas are there to support you no matter what happens during your pregnancy, labor, and birth. Your doula can help you adjust your expectations and provide support during unexpected situations.

  • Doulas work with people who have a wide range of birth preferences and experiences, including those who plan to have medical interventions or a cesarean birth. The role of a doula is to provide support and guidance throughout the birth process, regardless of the type of birth you have.

    I connect best with women who’s goal is to have a natural birth, but my goal is to empower and encourage you, and help you to make informed decisions, no matter how your birth plans change.

  • No, doulas are there to support you and respect your choices throughout the birth process. They are trained to provide unbiased support and guidance.
