Broadly speaking, midwives have medical training, and during the birth process focus on providing medical care for you and your baby/babies. Doulas, on the other hand, focus on the needs of the mother, offering mental, physical, and emotional support.
A midwife & a doula who you trust make an amazing team!

We thrive supporting undisturbed, natural births, typically at home, but also at birth centers or in the hospital!

It’s important to find someone who aligns with your values and who you can trust. Do your research and spend a little time looking for the right doula for you. It’s never too late to reach out, but it’s also never too early to commit when you find a doula you align with! We do tend to fill up quickly as we take a limited number of births. We have had clients sign with us as early as 4 weeks or as late as 40 weeks!

100% yes! Working with a doula post placement can offer many benefits to a new parent, despite the fact that the traditional role of a doula is often associated with pregnancy and birth.

Adoptive parents go through a transition period just like birth parents. Hiring a doula provides significant education and support. Often times parents experience emergency placements, and don’t have much time to prepare for a new baby. This is why a doula can be so helpful!

*Please ask about our discounted rates for adoptive parents!

Consider adding doula services to your baby registry! Express your desire to your friends and family. Prioritize your spending habits and set aside money where and when you can. So many baby items aren’t necessary to have right away, or at all! If you are struggling financially, I’d love to chat about how we can make doula support work for your budget.

I (Heidi) received my initial birth and postpartum doula training through DONA while working alongside another local doula as my mentor. I am certified through Lifespan Doulas. I have also taken trainings through Spinning Babies and the VBAC link.

Cosette is training and certified through the DNT network and is completed her BSN!

We both really value continued education and learning from those who have gone before us!

Absolutely. Heidi & Cosette function as each other’s primary back ups when available.

We are also blessed to know many amazing doulas who we would fully trust for my own birth support! If backup if ever needed, this would be a conversation we would have together in advance. We do our best to space due dates appropriately!
