Frequently asked questions

Why would I want 2 doulas to support me?

2 doulas are assigned to each client to ensure our clients have continuity of care. Both doulas participate in check-ins, prenatal visits, & postpartum visits. They, both, also share an on-call schedule as well as back each other up should one have an emergency or be at another birth. It is nice for our clients to know their doulas so that if a back-up doula is needed during labor a stranger isn't walking in the door.

What if I only want 1 doula?

There is a package clients can choose to have only 1 doula. You will still be provided a backup, but the backup will not participate in any of the services provided and is only there as a backup for labor.
