Lola was the best doula I could have had. She was there for me all throughout my entire pregnancy amd my labor and delivery. Im am so grateful for all the knowledge and care she gave me. I couldn't have done it without her. My baby is now a month old and she continues to be there for us. I woukd recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. Her bedside manner and expertise are a 10 out of 10.

Lola was amazing! She was there for my pregnancy, delivery and postpartum. She went beyond what I expected from a Doula and I am so grateful to have had during that time and she still checks in on baby’s birthday!

Frequently asked questions

Are pay rates flexible?

I believe every woman deserves compassionate support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I am a strong supporter of physiologic and natural birth. If you are planning a natural birth and are a first-time or teen mother, please ask about flexible pricing options for families with limited income.
