FAQs

What is a doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expectant parents before, during, and after childbirth.

What does a birth doula do?

Birth doulas help with comfort measures, advocacy, and emotional reassurance during labor and delivery.

Are you a midwife, isn’t it the same thing?

No. Unlike a midwife, doulas do NOT provide medical advice and care or deliver babies—they focus on support and guidance.

When should I start looking for a doula?

I say the sooner the better. A lot of people look for a doula early on to build a relationship throughout the pregnancy in preparation for birth. However, if you are well into your pregnancy, I would still love to connect to see how we can work together.

Would having a doula replace my partner?

No. We are not here to replace anyone, we are meant for support. Sometimes your support people (partner, sister, mom, best friend, etc.) also need support on how they can best support you.

What if I want a medicated birth (Pitocin, epidural, morphine)?

That’s completely your choice and it should not stop you from having a doula. If the doula you are considering to hire makes you feel in any way ashamed or embarrassed RUN!!

How many years of experience do you have?

I decided to become a doula after giving birth to my son in 2024. Though you may see other doulas are veterans and have been to over 60 births under their belt (love that for them!), I am still determined to support you the best way possible.

I see that you’re Christian-based, but do you work with people with other beliefs and backgrounds?

Yes! I am here to serve all people of any belief.
