Frequently asked questions

I accept reimbursement through Carrot Fertility. Clients can also submit invoices to their insurance for possible reimbursement

What does a night doula do?

A night doula helps care for the newborn overnight so parents can rest. This includes feeding support, diaper changes, soothing the baby, and helping establish healthy sleep routines.
