FAQ
Do you perform any physical examinations?
I am a non-medical provider. I will not be providing these exams. However, if you would like physical and emotional support during your visit. I can definitely support you.
Why consider a doula?
There are many studies that document the benefits of having a doula present during labor and postpartum. I can provide you with resources stating the significant decrease in the use/risk of inductions, Cesarean, etc.
What about my partner?
As your doula, I am there to strengthen their role and confidence by providing education and tools before and during labor. The partner can also take breaks to rest and refuel while knowing I am there to assist. Having an extra pair of hands makes a difference providing comfort and pain levels. As a doula, I provide affirmation, clarity, and reassurance for you both.
How can I make the cost more affordable?
Payment plans can be discussed in greater detail via a consultation. People have started to save for a doula once they are trying to conceive and/or include doula services on their baby shower registries.
