FAQs
-
No! As your doula, I will not replace your doctor, midwife, or partner. I will be an additional support for you- a BONUS teammate to give you all that you need.
-
Doulas can truly “DO” it all (see what I did there!?). We stand by your side regardless of your birth preferences. We will be there whether you choose to deliver in a hospital, at a birth center, or at home.
-
Absolutely! You are welcome to add additional components to your package. For example, if you choose the “Birth Package,” and then feel as though you would like postpartum services as well, we can add these at a later date. Everything is very fluid and customizable to make our partnership as smooth and supportive as possible.
