A doula is a companion through your prenatal, birth and postpartum journey. A birth doula assists your birth through emotional, physical and informational support.

Postpartum doulas support families during their transition home with their new baby. During their home visits they provide support with recovery from birth, lactation, and infant care.

• Doulas are not covered by insurance, but they can provide receipts for reimbursement through FSA or HSA funds.

• Alternatively, if your company provides health benefit programs like Carrot or Progyny, they might cover doula expenses

• Lastly, we encourage our clients to have a “doula fund” on their baby shower wish list!

Studies show that families working with doulas have a lower rate of interventions and higher satisfaction with their birth and postpartum experience.

Doulas support families in all the choices they make during their birth and postpartum journey. Your doula(s) will provide information and remind you of your options so you can make informed decisions. Most of the families we work with give birth in hospitals and have an epidural.
