FAQ
Answering your most common questions with clarity and care.
​
Are you fully certified yet?
I am currently completing my certifications through MaternityWise as a Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Lactation Consultant. However, I am officially trained with real experience. At this time, I am able to offer lower introductory pricing in exchange for reviews and feedback. My background as a Registered Nurse allows me to provide calm, informed, and grounded support while I finish my final certification requirements.
What areas do you serve?
I currently support families in the Phoenix and surrounding areas. Some travel outside this radius may be available depending on distance and availability.
​
When do you go on call for births?
I am on call 24/7 from 38–42 weeks. During this time, I stay fully available, keep my phone on, and limit travel so I can arrive when you need me.
​
How long do you stay during a birth?
I support you from early labor through birth and remain for up to two hours afterward to ensure you and your baby are settled, fed, and comfortable.
​
How does your postpartum overnight support work?
I arrive in the evening, provide newborn care throughout the night, and help with feeding, soothing, diapering, bottle prep, pump part cleaning, and light tasks so you can rest deeply. I also support you with emotional wellbeing, recovery, newborn cues, and gentle routines.
​
Do you offer individual nights without a package?
Yes. Individual Night Support is available at 65 per hour with an 8-hour minimum, based on availability.
​
What is the difference between labor and postpartum support?
Labor support focuses on preparing for birth, staying with you through labor, offering comfort measures, and supporting immediate postpartum recovery. Postpartum support is centered on overnight newborn care, sleep, feeding, emotional recovery, and helping you adjust during the fourth trimester.
​
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available for both labor support and overnight postpartum care. We can create a plan that fits comfortably with your family’s needs.
​
Do you serve families with AHCCCS/Medicaid?
I am in the process of completing the steps to become an approved AHCCCS provider. Once approved, families with qualifying coverage may have benefits available for doula services.
​
What if I deliver earlier or later than expected?
I adjust as needed. Babies come in their own timing, and I honor that fully. If your timeline shifts, I work with you to make sure you feel supported.
​
Do you offer virtual services?
Yes. Virtual prenatal, postpartum, and lactation support are available for families outside my service area or those who prefer remote care.
​
Are you a medical provider?
I am a Registered Nurse and doula, but doula care is non-medical. I provide emotional, educational, and physical support while staying within the doula scope of practice.

How do I book with you?
You can book a free consultation through my website, send a message through the contact page, or reach out directly. I’d love to connect and learn more about your vision for birth and postpartum.
