  • We are not a birth center nor do we offer any prenatal or postpartum medical care. We do have birth doulas that will support you during your birth.

  • Currently, we only accept insurance for our lactation services. You can check your eligibility here.

    For our other services, we can accept your HSA/FSA card, or provide a detailed receipt for reimbursement.

  • We believe in each parent’s philosophy regarding birth and parenting, and thus do not have an opinion what is best for our clients.  With this nonjudgmental support, we are able to give the best care possible to our clients. 

  • Because we offer each client a team of doulas, there is no need for a backup doula. This allows each client to be sure they know the doula that is present at her birth, as well as providing a safety net to ensure that our doulas are taken care of should a personal matter arrises.

  • No, we do not. We believe that once a person is trained as a doula, they can offer the same outstanding support as a doula that has been practicing for years. Our professional doulas will never leave you questioning if they are on the first birth, or their fiftieth birth.

  • No! We love working with partners, as they are vital part of the birthing person's support system. In fact, doulas can be just as beneficial for partners as they are for the birthing person.

  • Yes, as long as you under the care of Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), we would be honored to support you.

  • Yes, we believe that a birthing person can decide what is wanted, as well as what is not wanted during birth. Therefore, we support all births, with all levels of medical interventions. Doulas can be just as beneficial during a repeat cesarean birth as during an unmedicated vaginal birth.

  • We are constantly building relationships with various providers to ensure that we are a valuable part of every birthing person’s birth team. We do not take the place of any Doctor or Midwife, but add to your experience.

  • While we completely support your choice to birth your baby in the best way for you, due to our liability insurance we are unable to be present without a medical provider.
