FAQs

Answers to your Questions

I want you to feel safe and sure about everything to do with your birthing experience. Read some frequently asked questions about my business and my services. If you still haven’t found the answer you are looking for, feel free to get in touch with me.

Why did you become a doula?

After our births were provider controlled and not birthing mama controlled, it led to our desire of being able to help parents learn more about advocating what they want and need at the time instead of feeling pressured. 
We are both mamas of two kiddos and have personally experienced different aspects of births. 

What does your fees cover?

Communication Access? 

I am available M-F 9am-4pm via Chat box on the right hand of the screen, social media, and text/call. Once potential client has signed and paid for services, our personal phone, work phone, email, and chat box is ALWAYS available. We honestly try to limit to work hours as stated above, and 24-7 access at 35ish weeks or depending on how pregnancy is progressing.

Certification?

Yes, we are Certified Birth Coach aka Doula. We both thrive in all aspects of births and assist as FULL spectrum Doulas. We are not limited to ONLY natural nonmedicated births. We are skilled and have experiences in natural nonmedicated, natural medicated, VBAC, and Cesarean Births. We have also taken DONA APPROVED classes to become a Certified Birth Educator, Breastfeeding Educator/Supporter.

How many clients per month? 

We accept 2-3 births per month per Doula. We do not limit ourselves to private prenatal, postpartum, or placenta encapsulation.

What is placenta encapsulation and what are the benefits? 

Placenta Encapsulation is the process of turning your beautifully made organ into a capsule. I practice the process that is called the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method. This method is the safest process to consume your placenta. In a safe and sanitizd designated area, I steam the placenta at 220 degrees for 45 minutes to kill any possible bacteria or viruses. (Hospitals can not and will not release if mother has HIV or AIDS) Then it is dehydrated for 12+ hrs. I grind into a powder, and put into capsules. This process is completed with one placenta at a time to avoid cross contamination and a label follows that placenta until placed into jar with clients name labeled on the jar. It can take 2-3 days to complete entire process. With this in mind though, I am a birth doula. If I am called to attend a client in labor the process will be paused and safely stored until I can return to complete process. This can cause a delay in receiving your placenta within the 2-3 day time frame and client will be notified of the delay as soon as possible.
