Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a doula if I have a midwife?

    Yes! Doulas and midwives perform completely separate jobs. A midwife is a trained medical professional who is able to deliver babies and perform a variety of procedures. Doulas offer physical, emotional, educational and advocacy support, but do not perform any medical tasks or interfere with them. Midwives and doulas love to work together. 



  • Is a doula worth it if I'm planning on getting an epidural?

    Doulas support all kinds of births! While many clients are hoping to have an unmedicated birth, everyone can benefit from a doula. Remember that doulas do much more than pain relief during birth- education about the process, emotional and advocacy support, postpartum help and support, and other roles are also a part of the package. 



  • Will my partner feel replaced by a doula?

    Doulas are in no way meant to take on the same role as your partner. Your partner knows you, your comforts, your emotions, and what you need better than anyone and will be a huge part of your birth. Doulas come with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that your partner may not have and help them find the best way to apply that knowledge to you. We love to work with partners, giving them tips for comfort measures and empowering them to be a part of the journey. 

  • When should I hire a doula?

    The earlier the better! You deserve to find a doula that you connect with and feel comfortable with so I usually recommend in your second trimester you interview a couple of doulas. Starting earlier gives you time to make a decision and have time to build a relationship with your doula.


  • How does virtual support work?

    All of my services are possible virtually! Most often this is done through zoom, but other applications are possible as well phone consultations.
