FAQs

What is a doula?

A doula offers nonmedical educational, emotional, and spiritual support to expectant and new parents. We specialize in providing hands-on labor support and focus on mental, emotional, and spiritual readiness for the transformative journey of labor and early parenthood.

When do you report to a birth?

I report to a birth when the laboring person is in active labor (i.e. when you move to the birth space).

Where do you attend births?

I primarily attend births at home and in birth centers, but am open to attending hospital births as well. If you have a question about a specific location, send me an email. 

How far will you travel to support clients?

For birth clients, which includes those choosing the Birth Package or Complete Package, I will travel up to 2 hours from Brattleboro, VT. 

For postpartum clients, which includes those choosing the Postpartum Package, I will travel up to 1 hour 30 minutes from Brattleboro, VT. 

I support clients in Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

What is your policy on hospital transfers?

In the event that a hospital transfer is necessary, I will accompany you to the hospital and continue to provide support until 2 hours post-delivery, provided this is in line with hospital policy.
