FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers.
What does a doula actually do?
A doula gives emotional and physical support, plus clear information, around birth. I help you prepare, offer comfort in labor, and support your partner too. I don't make medical decisions or perform clinical tasks.
Do you replace my doctor or midwife?
No. I work alongside the care team you've chosen. They handle your medical care. I'm there for comfort and steady, continuous support.
Where do you attend births?
Hospitals and birth centers, plus planned home births, depending on facility rules and your care plan. At a home birth, I'm there as your doula, not as a midwife.
When should I book Sacred Support or Full Nest?
The earlier, the better. Bookings are usually accepted up to 32 weeks. Between 33 and 35 weeks I'll do my best, depending on availability. At 36 weeks or later, reach out and we'll talk.
When does on-call start?
At 38 weeks. If labor starts before then, I'll do everything I can to be there, but attendance depends on availability and backup coverage.
How do payments work?
Sacred Support and Full Nest follow a flexible schedule based on when you book. If you book before 32 weeks, 50% is due at booking, 25% at 32 weeks, and the remaining 25% at 37 weeks. If you book between 32 and 36 weeks, 50% is due at booking and the remaining 50% at 37 weeks. If you book at 37 weeks or later, full payment is due at booking. You may also pay the full balance at any time before 37 weeks. If labor begins before your balance is paid, the remaining balance is due before birth support begins. A payment should never delay or interfere with seeking necessary medical attention.
Night Nest takes a 50% deposit once your nights are approved, with the balance due 24 hours before the first shift. Latch & Love is paid when you book. Household Support is quoted after review.
What's the difference between Full Nest and Night Nest?
Full Nest is daytime postpartum care during five six-hour visits, part of a birth package. Night Nest is overnight newborn care on its own, so you can sleep.
What does Night Nest not include?
Night Nest is focused care for your baby. It doesn't include household chores, family laundry, bottle washing, care for older siblings, pet care, baths, or any medication.
Do you travel to me?
Yes. Travel within 15 miles of our central Broward home base is included. If you're farther out, ask and I'll quote it.
Are you a lactation consultant?
I'm a Certified Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, which means I offer education and peer support. I'm not an IBCLC. If something needs clinical attention, I'll point you to the right provider.
Do you offer midwifery or home birth care?
No. I offer doula support, including at planned home births attended by your own provider.
Is there a discount for returning families?
Yes. Returning families get $75 off Sacred Support for a later pregnancy.
