FAQ
What is a birth doula?
Doulas are non-medical birth workers. I provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support before, during, and immediately after birth. A birth doula supports a woman’s choices without judgment and without trying to change her mind or convince her of anything. A doula understands the physiology of birth and will help your partner feel supported. I support your rights to make decisions about birth and postpartum experience. Whether that be navigating family members, doctors and nurses, opinions about how/when you will labor and what postpartum looks like for you.
​
When should I hire a doula?
You can hire a doula at any point during your pregnancy, but typically interviewing doulas starts around 20-25 weeks, the earlier the better!
​
I think I want a doula, but my partner is nervous. Will you replace him or her?
Not at all! My role is to make sure your partner is fully integrated and feels cared for too. A doula can help navigate the birth space while empowering your partner to play an integral l role of in your labor and delivery.
​
Do you combine HypnoBirthing with doula work?
I have many HypnoBirthing clients hire me as a doula. I do recommend you take the full HypnoBirthing 5 session series however, we can incorporate some of the relaxations into your labor.
​
Why should I hire you for birth photography?
I truly believe that birth is beautiful. I am passionate about capturing your birth in an intimate and nonintrusive way.
