From 0-10 centimeters, you need Shelby! Having her attention on me prenatally, during labor, and into the postpartum period made all the difference for my second pregnancy. I was really nervous for my second birth as the first did not go how I envisioned, but my birth planning session with Shelby quickly put me at ease. Her knowledge of comfort measures and the local hospital providers proved invaluable. She also got my husband involved while showing us comfort measures to use during labor, and was always available to quickly answer any messages or silly questions I had throughout my pregnancy. Shelby supported me until I finally went into labor naturally at 41 weeks and 5 days. She knew how badly I wanted to go into labor without being induced and gave me great information about how long a pregnancy could take. Her support took a lot of pressure off of me as I focused on making informed decisions regarding my labor and bringing my baby earthside. After birth, Shelby was available to help me with breastfeeding, which I was really nervous about because I wasn't able to breastfeed my first baby. I also suffered from terrible postpartum depression with my first, and Shelby was able to offer guidance on recognizing the signs of postpartum depression and anxiety so I would be able to seek help. Having eight weeks of virtual support in addition to my postpartum appointments with Shelby really boosted my confidence as I transitioned into my new role as a mother of two.

I'm a full-spectrum doula in the Austin area open for birth, postpartum and personal chef clients! I've just joined Bornbir as I ready my website to launch. I am open to traveling for clients who are willing to pay travel costs, though I would reccomend securing a local backup doula.

Becoming a parent can be incredibly overwhelming and overwhelmingly incredible all at the same time! As your postnatal doula, it would give me great joy to make those early weeks the best they can be for you, your baby and your household. What does that look like? Anything from preparing yummy snacks or meals for you or helping fold laundry, to being someone to lean on when you’re lacking in confidence or need to off-load, to looking after your baby or older sibling while you have some time to rest. I am also a qualified breastfeeding counsellor and holistic sleep coach, skills which enhance my postnatal work greatly. I also speak fluent Spanish and have a high level of French and German. When I’m not working, I relish being with my husband and two children, indoors and out, exploring and discovering new places, camping, youth hostelling and having a merry time.

Stephanie Krueger Domingue

A Coloradoan, Born and Raised, and a mother of three. I am deeply passionate about supporting pregnant women to and through their birth experiences. I vow to guide birthing persons through the threshold of transition, create safe space, and honor their intuition. Through selfless service, resources, support, and healing touch we can come back to the ancient way of honoring the bringers of life, as they transform and process the rawness of their birth. Certified holistic doula through The Matrona, with studies from Birth Arts International, and certified Sacred Postpartum Mother Roaster.

Stephanie brings it! She makes the entire pregnancy, birth & postpartum experience so special and sacred. She is a master ceremonialist and always, I mean always, has flowers and magical honey. You will be so doted upon: from your first visit together; to your mother blessing ceremony; all the birth waves; to mother roasting, belly wraps, and yummy nourishing broths; to an intuitive placental reading; to expert breastfeeding support; to the final bittersweet closing ceremony. She will make your birth space cavelike and sparkly with fairy lights, candles, affirmations, a wonderful fan, and flowers. She will guide you through the waves and challenges, keeping you grounded and cracking jokes for levity. She's also a mama so she deeply understands what her clients are going through. All I can say is Dou-la-la!

Doula Services FAQs

What is a doula and why should you hire one?

A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.

Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.

Are doulas covered by insurance?

In the US, doula coverage really depends on your plan and where you live—Medicaid in about 18 states (plus DC) now covers birth doulas, a handful of states require private insurers to include them, but most private plans and Medicare don't, and CHIP mirrors your state’s Medicaid rules. In Canada, there's no public coverage, so you'll pay out‑of‑pocket unless your employer's extended health or spending‑account plan reimburses certified doula fees, and there's no CRA tax credit for it. Many doulas on Bornbir offer payment plans or sliding scale fees to make their services more accessible to a wider range of families.

How much does a doula cost if I'm paying out of pocket?

The cost of hiring a doula can vary significantly based on factors such as location, experience, and the range of services offered. On average, doula services in the United States can range from $800 to $2,500 or more. This fee typically covers prenatal visits, continuous labor support, postpartum follow-up, and educational resources. In some cases, doulas may offer additional services such as childbirth education classes or lactation consulting, which can contribute to a higher fee.

When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?

You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
