Benefits of working with a Doula Agency
We each have unique strengths that you can pull from to get all the care, knowledge, and attention you need during your pregnancy and birth. Even though you’re working one-on-one with a doula, we are always in contact with one another asking for insight to make sure we are serving our clients best.
We always have back-up doulas who know your birth plan and can jump in seamlessly when needed! Sometimes births go really long, or one of us gets sick and doesn’t want to spread anything to you or your newborn… and with built in back-up, we can continue showing up for you without missing a beat!
There is no cap on how many hours we support your birth. Whether your birth is 3 hours or three days (yes, that happens), your primary doula has the option to switch out with their backup once they reach the point of exhaustion so a rejuvenated doula can step in and help you get the best care, no matter how long your birth goes.
Did you know the average doula burns out by the 2-year mark? By serving together, we have gotten to stay in the game longer while finding balance for ourselves and our families, which means the families we serve get to work with experienced and knowledgeable doulas at a fair price.
I’m sure you have some questions. Here are a few answers.
Inviting a doula into your birth is a deeply personal decision, and we don’t take the responsibility lightly.
If you have any questions before booking a consultation, feel free to contact our lead doula and owner, Heidi, HERE!
Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions so you can explore if a doula is the right fit for your birth support.
-
A doula supports you during your pregnancy and birth through educational, emotional & physical support. Our current mainstream maternal health care system is not able to meet these needs effectively for pregnant individuals. Studies have shown that when giving birth with a doula present, people have significantly better health outcomes for them and their baby.
-
YES, YES, and another YES for emphasis. Doulas are trained to support ALL births, and it is fun to have some variety! Unmedicated birth is great, but not the right option for many, and we 100% support parents choosing what they feel comfortable with for their birth. Doulas can change your position frequently while utilizing an epidural, encourage labor along during an induction, or help center the vibes during your c-section around you and your baby bonding.
-
We encourage all partners to attend our free, 30-minute initial consult and see how they feel about a doula being present after that! No strings attached.
Doulas will never replace a partner’s role in birth. Doulas are actually at the birth to help the person giving birth AND the partner have a better experience! As a partner, wouldn’t you feel great being educated on how you can help create a more comfortable and respected birth experience? Doulas are there to do just that… empower the partner to take control of the birthing room just as much as the parent giving birth and help them know how to be an active participant in the process.
A doula is there to help you navigate the maternal health care system, provide emotional and physical support to the whole family, educate you on your birthing options, help your partner look like a rock star… while letting grab them food and go to the bathroom once in a while.
-
First, look at your insurance. Few insurances cover the cost of a doula (some magical unicorn ones do though!) but many will let you use Health Savings or Flexible Spending Accounts to cover the costs.
Second, utilize your friends and family! Did you know many gift registries let you register for a doula? Friends and family can contribute to the fund, because what’s a cooler gift then education and support from a professional during your pregnancy and birth??? My tip to clients is to buy what you can second-hand or borrowed for baby, and utilize your network to pay for the things that will set you up for success as you start your parenting journey… like a doula, meal delivery, house cleaners. etc.
We also are happy to set up payments plans throughout your pregnancy in however way works best for you to pay, we just ask that your bill is paid in full two weeks before your due date!

Are you worried a doula doesn’t fit your birth preferences?
Our nation is in the middle of a maternity care crisis, and while doula care will never fix all the gaps in our systems, it has been proven to better birth and postpartum outcomes; but yet so few families are utilizing doula support.
There is a misconception around doula care that it is only for those seeking low-intervention birth. While doulas can absolutely help with those goals, we’d be selling ourselves short if we didn’t let you know that we can do SO much more!
Doulas are there to support, to advocate for, and to guide you through the unknowns of birth. Hiring a doula means having a guaranteed support person on your baby's birthday who has gotten to know your family and your birth preferences and who knows the system you’re giving birth within.
A doula is an advocate who will be with you every step of the way, all with the goal of helping you and your family leave the experience feeling cared for and seen during the process of bringing your baby earth-side.
