Congratulations!

Dear Expectant Parents,

This season of your life is exciting and bound to be life-changing. A well-planned support team is one of the essential tools for you to use to have the most satisfactory pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum period. I am grateful that you're considering making me a part of that team! You may have questions about doula care and my philosophy of birth. Please feel free to ask me any questions after our initial interview.

I have found that a woman's birth story becomes a permanent and critical part of who she is. My goal is to help women and their partners craft birth plans that make them feel the most confident approaching their births. In addition, I will provide continuous support to the mother and partner when the day arrives so that you both come away from the experience feeling proud of your story no matter how it unfolds.

Our birth stories may not be exactly what we imagined during pregnancy, but I have learned firsthand that with a supportive team surrounding you, your birth story can be something you want to tell again and again with confidence and strength.

  • If you have a friend who has used a doula, ask her to share her story and have her introduce you to her Doula. Keep in mind that each woman and her birth are unique.

  • Ask your midwife or doctor for recommendations. Some hospitals and birth centers provide doula services or referrals. In addition, some providers regularly work with Doulas.

  • Ask your childbirth educator for a referral. They have heard many birth stories and may know local Doulas who have helped other women, or may work as a doula, as well.

  • Interview several doulas if possible before choosing one. When getting ready for your interview, think about what you want your Doula to do for you. How will she fit in with the rest of your labor support team? Think about how you deal with challenges and how you need support. What helps you to relax? Do you like lots of massages, or do you prefer the distraction of a conversation? How does your partner want to support you? Do they want to participate in the physical support or just be there emotionally for you? Ask the Doula how she sees her role at your birth.

How to choose your birth team.

Research says that having a Doula (a trained labor support professional) as part of your labor support team provides the most benefits. Here are some tips for finding the right doula for you:
