Shana was my doula for the entirety of my pregnancy, birth, and the few days she offers postpartum. As well as doing a maternity photoshoot for my husband and I and grabbing shots in the hospital. I could not recommend her more! She is so good to share with you the facts and wait to be asked to share her opinion if you desire. She has had many of her own experiences both good and bad through her four children to where she is able to relate to a lot and understand what your feeling and can help navigate that. She not only supported me, but also my husband and encouraged him to be there with me. She helped us remember the plan we had made and helped us to stick to it the best we could. Her calming presence in a room and her willingness to be as involved as you needed was outstanding. I could go on and on and highly recommend her as your doula. If you’re doubting the need for another person in the room I highly recommend you reconsider!

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 Walla Walla, WA?
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 Walla Walla, WA?
Since 2024, Washington Apple Health has covered doula services for members in Walla Walla and throughout the state. Doulas must be certified by Washington to receive Medicaid payment. The local market is modest, with eight doulas listed within 60 miles, so Apple Health members should seek a provider who meets the billing requirement. Private insurance benefits vary by plan and should be confirmed with the insurer.
What types of doulas are for hire in Walla Walla, WA?
Within 60 miles of Walla Walla, 10 doulas are listed: six under a general doula category, two for postpartum care only, two for both birth and postpartum support, and none for birth alone. Birth doulas focus on preparation for labor and support during delivery, though no local listings are limited to that service. Postpartum doulas help families adjust after birth, including practical and emotional support during recovery. Doulas serving both stages provide continuity through childbirth and the postpartum period. General doulas offer support without identifying either birth or postpartum care as their particular service category.
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.
