Policies
On-call & backup, in plain language
How does the on-call window work?
I go fully on call at 37 weeks and remain available 24/7 until you give birth. I keep my phone on, stay within the service region and limit the number of clients per due-date month.
What is your backup doula policy?
I work within a small trusted network of certified doulas. If I am ill or attending a birth that overlaps with yours, your named backup steps in — you meet them before 36 weeks so they are never a stranger.
Do you replace my partner or my midwife?
No. I provide non-clinical support only. Your provider handles medical care and your partner remains your primary emotional support; I guide, relieve and equip you both.
When should I book?
Most families book between 16 and 28 weeks, though I take later bookings when my calendar allows.
Do you attend home births and C-sections?
Yes. I support hospital births, birth centers, home births, planned C-sections and VBACs with the same continuity of care.
