Our Standard of Practice Explained

 There are many things a doula is confident and capable doing. There are also services we can not provide, due to our specific training and educational limitations. We are not medical professionals, therefore we do not perform any medical procedures. We will not check your vitals, perform pelvic exams, or deliver your baby. We will not speak to a caregiver on your behalf, we will however, support you in advocating for yourself and help you prepare so that speaking with caregivers is easier and less stressful. Lastly, we cannot make decisions for you. This is not our birth, it is yours, and thusly we want you to be comforted in knowing you did this in your own way. We will not judge you for the decisions you make. We will make every effort to give you as many tools as possible to accomplish this.
