Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will my partner feel replaced by a doula?

    Doulas are in no way meant to take on the same role as your partner. Your partner knows you, your comforts, your emotions, and what you need better than anyone and will be a huge part of your birth, recovery and postpartum period. Doulas come with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that your partner may not have and help them find the best way to apply that knowledge to you. We love to work with partners, giving them tips for comfort measures and empowering them to be a part of the journey. 

  • Are postpartum doulas nurses or nannies?

    Nope!  Postpartum doulas are non-medical professionals.  We do not check incisions or answer medical questions.  


    We do know what does and does not fall within the range of normal.  And we have a comprehensive list of resources for you.


    As postpartum doula(s) we support mother and baby while nannies focus on care of children. 

  • How can I make postpartum care affordable

    Investing in postpartum care is important. 

    A few ways to cover the cost of my services without paying out of pocket:

    •   Flexible Spending Account (FSA) & Health Savings Account (HSA): Use these funds to pay for postpartum doula care.
    •   Gift Contributions: Friends and family can contribute towards your postpartum care as a meaningful gift.
    •  Insurance Coverage: Many insurance plans now cover postpartum care. Contact your insurance provider to see if you’re eligible for coverage.
    • Carrot and Maven: I am covered with Carrot and Maven, which may provide additional support for accessing my services.

Pocket Notes

We hired Vanessa for a second baby after having a not so good experience with our first. She made sure I was taking meds, had water, snacks and even inquired about my healing. My husband was able to focus on our first while I was able to sleep and spend lots of bonding time with our new little one.
