Accepts insurance

Welcome to Grow in Grace Doula Care! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a wife, new boy mom, and pediatric registered nurse based in Queen Creek, Arizona. With three years of pediatric nursing experience, I have always had a special love for taking care of little ones. My true passion lies in supporting new moms and babies, which is why I fell in love with postpartum doula care after the birth of my son. Having been supported by both labor and postpartum doulas during my birth and recovery, I can honestly say my experience would have been vastly different without their care. I believe birth and postpartum are natural and beautiful events in which every woman should feel empowered and protected. That's why my goal is to provide loving, non-judgmental care to all expecting parents, helping them experience the grace and joy that comes with their new baby! At home, I enjoy a full and joyful life with my husband, son, two dogs, and our rabbit. Outside of my doula work, my perfect day includes reading my Bible while sipping on an iced coffee or matcha, spending time outside in the sun and grass, hanging out with my family, and podcasting!

Karly was such a valuable resource in the postpartum period. I got the opportunity to work with her when my little one was 2 months old and she helped me with feeding concerns, practicing our physical therapy exercises for my little one’s torticolis, and household chores! She was also a great listener and very empathetic when I told her about my complications after birth and how they had affected my mental health. She is such a sweet and knowledgeable person. I would recommend all pregnant mamas, experienced or not, utilizing Karly for postpartum care.

I'm Teresa Estilow, an inclusive postpartum doula and Dare to Birth childbirth educator supporting the Phoenix and East Valley areas. As a parent who experienced my own challenges with my postpartum journeys, I was inspired to provide access to compassionate and empathetic support to new and again parent's in their 4th-trimester journeys.

Recent review

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Teresa during my postpartum journey. From the moment she entered our home, it was clear that her presence would be transformative for both me and my son. Teresa has a remarkable ability to listen and attune herself to the needs of new parents. She not only provided practical help but also offered emotional support that made a world of difference during a challenging time. Her insights were spot on; she picked up on things I didn’t even know I needed. Whether it was tips on baby care, advice on self-care, or just a comforting presence to talk to, she was always there, ready to help. What truly set Teresa apart was her intuition and understanding. She became an integral part of our family, fostering a sense of calm and reassurance. Her warm demeanor and genuine care made the transition into motherhood so much smoother. I wholeheartedly recommend Teresa to any new parent. She brings not only knowledge and experience but also a nurturing spirit that truly enriches the postpartum experience. Thank you for everything—you have made a lasting impact on our family!

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 in Surprise, AZ?

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.

How much does a doula cost in Surprise, AZ?

The cost of a doula in Surprise, AZ can vary depending on the individual doula's experience, training, and services offered. On average, the cost of a doula in Surprise, AZ ranges from $800 to $1500 for their services. It's important to research and interview potential doulas to find one that fits your budget and meets your needs.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Surprise, AZ?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a doula in Surprise, AZ, depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. Some insurance companies offer partial or full coverage for doula services, especially if they are considered part of maternity or preventive care. You’ll need to check with your insurance provider to see if they cover doulas, what documentation might be required, and whether the doula must be certified or within their network. Additionally, some Medicaid plans in certain states may cover doula services, so it’s worth exploring that option as well. If insurance doesn’t cover it, some doulas offer payment plans or sliding scale fees to make their services more affordable.

What types of doulas are for hire in Surprise, AZ?

In Surprise, AZ, various types of doulas are available for hire to support individuals during different stages of their birthing and parenting journey. These include birth doulas, who provide emotional, physical, and informational support during labor and delivery; postpartum doulas, who assist families after the baby is born by offering help with newborn care, emotional support, and household tasks; and antepartum doulas, who support individuals experiencing high-risk pregnancies or complications. Additionally, some doulas may specialize in areas like bereavement support for pregnancy loss, fertility doula services, or even sibling doulas, who help care for older children during labor and postpartum. Many doulas in the area cater to personalized needs and may offer hybrid services combining multiple forms of support.

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.
