Frequently Asked Questions

What does the discovery call involve?

It's a relaxed 30-minute conversation — no paperwork, no pressure, no commitment. You'll share a bit of your story, I'll tell you how I work, and we'll see if it feels right. Many mothers say they felt better just from that first call.


Is doula support only for "natural" births?

Not at all. I support mothers across all birth settings and preferences — epidural, unmedicated, hospital, birth center, VBAC, and planned cesarean. My role is to support you, whatever path your birth takes.


What if I don't know yet how I want this birth to go?

That's exactly why we work together before your birth. You don't need to arrive with a plan — you just need to show up. We'll build clarity together over our prenatal visits.

Will you replace my OB or midwife?

No. I work alongside your medical team. My role is to provide continuous emotional support, help you understand your options, and make sure your voice is heard — not to provide clinical care.

What if my birth goes "off plan"?

Birth is unpredictable by nature, and we prepare for that. A good birth experience isn't one that goes exactly as planned — it's one where you felt informed, supported, and respected no matter what happened. That's what I help you build.
