FAQs

What is a doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. We help you feel empowered and informed throughout your journey.

How can a doula help me during labor?

A doula offers continuous support, comfort measures, and encouragement. We can help with breathing techniques, positioning, and pain relief options, as well as advocate for your birth plan with medical staff. During your two prenatal visits, we will cover everything you need to know to prepare you for the birth that you want.

When should I hire a doula?

It’s a good idea to hire a doula early in your pregnancy, but you can reach out at any time. Many families hire a doula during the second or third trimester.

Can my partner still be involved?

Absolutely! A doula's role is to support both you and your partner. We work together to ensure that your partner can participate in a way that feels comfortable for them.
