FAQS
WHAT ARE YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH MEDICAL STAFF LIKE?
Respectful and Informative. However, I am willing to remind everyone in the labor room of your birth wishes and I'm not afraid to speak up if I see something that consent wasn't asked for!
DO YOU PERFORM ANY PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS?
Nooooppppeee. I am not a midwife or OBGYN. That is not within my scope of practice.
HOW WILL HIRING YOU AFFECT MY PARTNER’S ROLE DURING THE BIRTH?
No worries! I am there for them too! Dad and support people have concerns, questions, or just need a break. I offer coping suggestions to help them best support you and remind support people of how they can always ask questions or remind them of their own wishes during birth!
HOW MANY CLIENTS DO YOU TAKE A MONTH?
I currently take only two mom's a month! During the winter months, I don't take BIRTH DOULA clients but do have some exceptions for C-sections and some VBAC moms. If you want to work with me during the winter months you can join my prenatal coaching program! Join to list to get updates coming soon!
​
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
I do! I also take FSA/HSA, and I have collaborated with BeHerVillage where you can fund prenatal and postpartum support. For Low-income moms in Lorain County or the West Side of Cuyahoga County, you may qualify for a free doula.
​
​
WHO ARE YOU NOT FOR?
I'm not really for the parents who:
-
Don't really care about how their birth ends
-
Not interested in breastfeeding or learning more about it.
-
Not into holistic health or healing
-
Okay with hospital routines and suggestions and don't want to go outside that.
-
Don't want to learn more about birth (feel knowing less is better)
-
Want to know my vaccination status
Currently specializing as a VBAC Doula, and also specialize in high-risk pregnancies, and premature babies.

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN DOULA? DO YOU ONLY SERVE CHRISTIAN CLIENTS?
I am happily a Jesus lover! Christ is life. HOWEVER: I am called to serve all people and that is what I do. I have worked with Muslims, atheists, agnostics, etc. I do offer prayer and biblical encouragement to those who are Christ's followers and offer education and affirmations to my fellow sisters and brothers in Christ.
