Why hire a doula?
Lots of reasons! Check it out here.
Do I have to be planning a medication-free birth in order to utilize your services?
Absolutely not! We love supporting all birthing choices - from completely unmedicated, to planned cesareans, and everything in between! As doulas, we provide more than coping mechanisms during birth. We also provide extensive knowledge, emotional support, advocacy, postpartum help, and are your go-to people for questions, venting, etc. on this journey. Choices are yours to make, we’re here to help you be aware of them and support your decisions.
What is your “crunchy” level?
It’s true, doulas have a reputation of being experts on all things in the crunchy birthing/parenting world. I (Brooke) would say I’m more on a “chewy” level of natural-mindedness. I clothed diapered my babies AND used disposables sometimes. Hippie wannabe? Yes. Do I give my children ibuprofen occasionally? Also yes. Balance!
We could never replace your partner. They have an intimate knowledge of YOU, and we have an in-depth knowledge of birth. Together, doulas and partners work together to form a powerhouse support team.
Does a doula take the place of my partner?
At this time, we usually do not take on more than 3-4 clients per month EACH. In the event of an emergency, a back-up doula will be provided.
How many clients do you take per month?
It’s never too early! The earlier, the better. It’s almost never too late. If you are pushing, it’s probably too late. :) Let’s chat!
When is the best time to hire you?
