Why you should hire me as your Doula even though I don’t attend births | A look into Pregnancy & Postpartum Coaching

First, what is a doula? 

Typically a doula will provide some level of childbirth education, in-person birth support, and 1 or 2 postpartum sessions. Most people hire a doula because they want a natural delivery and know they need an extra support person trained in birth. BUT not every birth can go unmedicated and therefore many doulas work in the hospital setting and take clients who choose epidurals or need C-sections.

I trained as a birth and postpartum doula but never intended to attend births or go to clients’ homes postpartum. (I have…but I don’t do it often) So why did I do the training?

 As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Restorative Wellness Solutions Practitioner (RWSP). I provide holistic nutrition coaching. In my sessions, I don’t just look at their diet but also their lifestyle, mental health, and spiritual health.

 Since all my clients were women and 99% were pregnant/postpartum/moms, I decided to expand my scope of practice and add in doula work. This was because I love walking women through pregnancy/postpartum. I can talk about all things pregnancy/postpartum life for HOURS, and I already was with clients.

So why hire me, a doula, when I don’t attend live births??

FIRST- I actually do offer virtual doula support. It is an optional add-on if clients want it.

SECOND- As an NTP, doula, and mother, I have tons of experience and knowledge surrounding the human body and birth. When you match the education/experience I have with my personality traits as a type A and enneagram 2, I am a dream coach to work with. My superpowers include organizing, being a cheerleader for others, and empathy.

THIRD- I go beyond birth. My 6-month package includes nutrition coaching, intuitive eating, childbirth/postpartum/newborn care education, life/mental health coaching, assisting in building out your weekly schedule, and registry. Most importantly, I am a listening ear and soundboard.

Why you SHOULDN’T hire me

  • You don’t feel you need help because you already have an incredible support system and a village.
  •  You don’t work full-time and have plenty of time to do all the research you need to do
  •  You like to be surprised by unexpected schedule changes, new symptoms, digestive issues, relationship adjustments, etc…
  •  You and God have a fantastic relationship and don’t need to work on anything.
  •  You probably won’t have any questions and rather just filter through facebook mom groups.
  •  You thrive under stress.

You get my point, right? 

You know that you need help. You would LOVE to hire someone like me but maybe it feels too expensive when you have other things to pay for right now. Plus—the economy, right?
