FAQs |
Can you elaborate on the INVESTMENT?
When hiring a doula, you are not just paying for them to be at your birth, but to share their training and experience in supporting mothers every step of the way. Doulas dedicate significant time in the weeks and months leading up to birth, ensuring you feel prepared, informed and excited for your birth so you can have the BEST experience possible!
24/7 on-call support means regardless of time of day or night, the weather, a holiday, or personal commitments a doula is available to support you. You'll receive personalized labor support for hours and possibly days. The postpartum period presents its own set of challenges. Rather than relying on internet searches or receiving conflicting advice from friends and family, you can ask your doula, who likely has encountered your circumstances before and can offer guidance. (Just like any other business, a significant portion of fees covers operational expenses.) Many individuals are willing to invest thousands in a wedding or hundreds or thousands on a vacation. I firmly believe that doula support is equally as worthy of the investment. I do understand that financial constraints are very real in today's world, if the cost feels prohibitive, please don't hesitate to reach out. We may be able to work something out! WHAT KIND OF BIRTHS DO YOU Attend?
What are your hopes, dreams, and vision for birth? We will talk about all of these things during our prenatal visits and come up with a plan that is best for you!
What's most important to me is that you feel safe & empowered wherever you choose to give birth. Whether you're wanting to birth at home, a birth center, or a hospital, cesarean, an un-medicated or medicated birth, I am here to provide you with unwavering support! WHAT IF I NEED MORE HELP IN PREPARATION?
I believe that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to birth plans or doula support. That's why, when you choose me to be your doula, you can expect a personalized plan tailored to your family's specific needs, preferences, and circumstances. I understand that every journey to parenthood is unique, and I honor the diversity of experiences and needs.
Throughout our time together, whether it's during prenatal visits or in the postpartum period, I prioritize open communication and collaboration. If at any point you feel like there's more to discuss or additional support is needed, I'm here to listen and adapt. Whether it's scheduling extra visits, providing additional resources, or simply offering a listening ear, I'm committed to meeting you where you are and supporting you every step of the way! DO YOU HAVE COMMUNITY RESOURCES?
While I bring expertise and dedication to my role as your doula, I also recognize the value of collaboration and the strength of community. I'm connected with a network of birth professionals who excel in their respective fields, and if there's ever a need for specialized support beyond my scope, I'm happy to provide referrals to trusted colleagues.
What if 2 clients go into labor at the same time?
I have an exclusive number of bookings a month to give the greatest amount of my time and attention to each and every one of my clients, as well as my own family! While it's very rare for an overlap to happen, from what we know about birth it can be very unpredictable so there's always a plan in place.
I work with a team of backup doulas! In the rare situation that I am unavailable during your on-call time frame (such as unforeseen emergencies, illness or attending another birth), you will be kept in the loop at all times and I will contact a trusted backup doula for you at no additional cost. |
