Frequently asked questions
What exactly does a doula do?
A doula is a trained support person who walks with you through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum—offering continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. I’m not a medical provider, but I help you feel calm, informed, and cared for every step of the way. I support both you and your partner, helping you navigate decisions and stay connected to your body and your birth experience.
How is doula support different from a hospital nurse or midwife?
Your medical team focuses on clinical care. My role is to support your emotional well-being and physical comfort through things like breathwork, massage, positioning, and nervous system tools. I stay with you throughout your entire labour (unlike staff who may rotate shifts), and I also work with you well before labour begins to prepare you fully for birth and postpartum.
Do I need to have a natural birth if I work with a doula?
Not at all. My role is to support your birth whatever that looks like for you. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, want an epidural, or are navigating a planned cesarean, I’m here to help you feel calm, informed, and supported. Birth doesn’t need to fit a certain mold to be powerful. You get to choose, and I walk with you through it with compassion and care.
What is the Confident Birth Method?
The Confident Birth Method is my signature online program designed to help you prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally for labour. It includes prenatal yoga, breathwork, mindset tools, bite-sized audio lessons, and partner prep—all self-paced and easy to fit into your week. It’s holistic, heart-centered, and created to help you feel strong, calm, and ready.
When should I book doula support?
The earlier, the better! Booking early gives us time to build trust and prepare your body and mind gradually over pregnancy—not just in the final weeks. That said, I occasionally have space for late bookings, so if you’re further along, reach out and we’ll chat.
Do you offer support for VBAC, anxiety, or past birth trauma?
Yes. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, a previous traumatic birth, or hoping for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). My step-by-step approach includes nervous system regulation, trauma-aware education, and personalized care that meets you where you are. I hold space for your story and help you move forward with tools that bring safety and calm to your experience.
What if I end up having an unplanned c-section?
You’ll still be fully supported. If a cesarean becomes necessary, I can be by your side during surgery if your partner isn’t able to be there, or meet you in recovery to help you feel calm, grounded, and cared for. I offer gentle energy work (Reiki) to support your nervous system and help ease the transition. I’ll also support you in those first moments of bonding and, if planned, with the initiation of breastfeeding so you feel held and confident, even when the birth takes a different path.
