A Doula is a trained, non-medical, professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth. My primary role is to help mothers feel empowered and supported through her birthing experience, advocating for her preferences, and ensuring she has the information she needs to make informed decisions. 

As a Christian doula, I incorporate faith-based principles and values into my practice. I provide emotional and spiritual support that aligns with Christian teachings, offering prayers, scripture, and encouragement throughout the birthing process. 

Yes, I can support births in various settings, including hospitals, birthing centers, and home births! I was trained to adapt to different environments and can help facilitate a positive birth experience, regardless of the chosen location.

No, you do not need a Christian background to hire any Christian doula! While I may incorporate Christian elements into my support, I respect and honor each family's unique beliefs and preferences, providing compassionate care tailored to your needs. 

During the initial consultation, you can expect to discuss your birth preferences, any concerns you may have, and how I can support you best. This is not only the best opportunity to start getting all the information you want but it is also the best time to ensure that you and I feel comfortable working together. 

The cost varies based upon the package you choose, and as of now I am unable to accept insurance, which is why I strived to make my services as affordable as possible. My cheapest package is $300 and my most expensive is $800.

I can support your partner by providing guidance and tools to help assist you during labor, helping to manage pain, and facilitating communication with hospital staff. (I also offer an online class for birthing partners to help them prepare for supporting you during labor.) By allowing me, or the doula of your choosing, to take on some support responsibilities, your partner can focus on being present and supportive during the birth experience. 

It is never too late to hire a doula! Even if you are in your third trimester. Many doulas are happy to take on new clients later in pregnancy. If you feel that additional support would benefit you, reach out! If I have the availability I would love to be your doula, and if I am unable I have a list of other potential doulas that you can check out!
