Frequently Ask Questions


Is a doula worth the investment if I'm planning on getting an epidural?
Doulas support all kinds of births! While many clients are hoping to have an unmedicated birth, everyone can benefit from a doula. Remember that doulas do much more than pain relief during birth- education about the process, emotional and advocacy support, postpartum help and support, and other roles are also a part of the package. 
What is hypnobirthing?

At the core of hypnobirthing is about neurological pathways that can support you in your pregnancy, you birth and honesty into life! This is not not just saying words like "relax" or "breathe" 

Science has proven that fear and tension actually increase the feelings of pain but there are ways to break the cycle of fear. The BirthWell Course incorporates principles of hypnobirthing, education and practical ways to support your pregnancy and prepare for your birth. 

When should I hire a doula?
The earlier the better! You deserve to find a doula that you connect with and feel comfortable with so I usually recommend in your second trimester you interview a couple of doulas. Starting earlier gives you time to make a decision and have time to build a relationship with your doula.
Will my partner feel replace by a doula?

Doulas are in no way meant to take on the same role as your partner. Your partner knows you, your comforts, your emotions, and what you need better than anyone and will be a huge part of your birth. Doulas come with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that your partner may not have and help them find the best way to apply that knowledge to you. We love to work with partners, giving them tips for comfort measures and empowering them to be a part of the journey.
