Alex is an amazing and knowledgeable doula. She has given me all the information and help I needed to do a non-medicated birth confidently. Might I add he was a 9.1lb baby. She is so kind and always up for questions and helping in anyway she can. I appreciate her so much, because of Alex I didn’t approach birth with fear. I had a 12 hour labor and I remained relaxed, focused on each surge bringing me closer to meeting our child and melting into each surge. (Follow Alex to know exactly what I mean) Highly recommend working with Alex in anyway possible to gain the confidence for birth like I had.

Rebecca Fravert was an excellent doula to me. I loved the doula yogas we did was really awesome! I would recommend her to anyone including my friends
— Aunika K., review of Rebecca Fravert
I purchased her prenatal and postnatal virtual yoga sessions and just loved them! She’s very friendly and easy going which was definitely a good perk! She was very nice about explaining how to do certain poses even though I’m pretty sure I looked like a complete GOOF! But honestly, had a great time with her and would definitely recommend her prenatal and postnatal yoga sessions!!!

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 Wausau, WI?
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 Wausau, WI?
Wisconsin is moving toward Medicaid reimbursement for doula care, but statewide coverage is still pending and has not fully taken effect. In Wausau, the local market is modest, with three doulas listed within 60 miles. Private insurance benefits vary, so check directly with your insurer about possible reimbursement.
What types of doulas are for hire in Wausau, WI?
Two of the four doulas for hire within 60 miles of Wausau provide both birth and postpartum support, while one offers birth support alone, none provide only postpartum care, and one is listed simply as a doula. A birth-only doula supports clients through labor and delivery. No doulas in Wausau are listed for postpartum care only, a service focused on recovery and adjustment after birth. Doulas offering both services provide continuity through childbirth and the postpartum period. The remaining doula does not name birth or postpartum as a service focus.
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.
