Whether you’ve just recently heard the word doula and want to find out more about what we do, or you already know that having a doula is essential to you… finding the right person for you is important.
An experienced doula is a specialist in birth support and, as when you hire any consultant, you are expecting knowledge, skills, and resources to be available to you. This is what a doula brings you, but there is more.
When you interview a doula, there are good questions to ask her… how long she’s been practing, what drew her to this work, and why she continues; but there are also good things to notice such as your comfort with her when you are together.
The training and experience we come to you with is necessary to know, but equally important is the knowing you’ll feel when you meet the doula you’d like to have with you at your birth. This special combination… a reassurance you feel in your head, and in your heart, is what leads you to the doula who is the best fit for you.
