Birth at local hospital Budget for doula care - covered by insurance

I have Kaiser Doula Care Coverage. I do not plan to get an epidural and want to give birth without medication in a hospital setting (Kaiser Antioch). All my births have been vaginal thus far and consistently have low-risk, healthy pregnancies. I am looking for a doula who can support me in 3 ways: 1) Partner with my husband to offer the best pain management techniques for my unmedicated birth 2) Provide me with a sense of emotional support, coaching, calm, and peace during such a vulnerable and focus-heavy time so I can labor with confidence and weather the mental storm during transition especially 3) Be an advocate for my unmedicated birth with hospital staff that are kind but frequently pushing for constant interruption/monitoring and offering epidural or other more invasive interventions.
