FAQs
-
Your location of birth is a personal and important one, and a doula can be helpful in all locations. I attend births at hospitals, home births, and birth centers. While I support the decision for a free birth, I do not feel comfortable attending without a medical professional present.
-
Yes, a doula would be most beneficial!
Birth doulas contribute to a more positive experience by helping you prepare for the cesarean, provide emotional support for yourself and your partner, centering your voice, as well as being a calming presence.
Postpartum doulas can assist with bonding and feeding immediately after, help with comfort measures, connect you with necessary resources, and provide a safe space to process your birth.

Yes! I take WA Sate Medicaid! My services can also be paid for using HSA. Half of your investment is due at the signing of the contract, while the second half is due by the first prenatal visit. I am happy to work out a personalized payment plan, though. Additionally, we can work on a sliding scale fee together if my investment isn’t attainable to you. I never want finances to be a barrier!

No, a doula does not replace a birth partner. Doulas provide additional support as part of the birth team. We provide resources and referrals, we can do things such as filling your water or grabbing you a snack so your birth partner does not have to leave your side, provide reassurance to you and your birth partner, we bring experience and and training to the table, and so much more.

No, lactation support is included in my birth and postpartum doula services. However, if you are in need of lactation support and do not want a doula, I offer it as an additional service.
