You have the freedom to relax as stressors around pregnancy and birth are alleviated or completely resolved. As your birth doula, Denise supports you, your partner and your birth; you remain focused on your labor and your baby! 

Bold Doula sets up your birthing environment: peaceful, relaxing & safe with your preferences of intimacy & respect of a miracle, the birth of your baby occurs: your entrance into motherhood/parenthood is supported.

Hiring A Birth/Post-Partum Doula: What You Need To Know.

Many pregnant people are seeking a birth or post part doula as a part of their support team. It is so important to due diligence in knowing your prenatal provider and facility you will be birthing in. Many of you are seeking doula support for the very first time and you really have no idea what to look for or what to ask in consulting with a doula. 

As a DONA International Advanced Birth Doula, I am happy and proud to share an awesome tool of empowerment for anyone seeking doula support: "The Doula Hiring Guide" provides full explanation as well as interview questions to empower you in your doula search.

Please review this awesome PDF and use it in your doula search. It can be used in consulting with any doula, not just a DONA International Doula. 

I am so very proud to be a Black doula. In my consultations, I  cover this tool and my video here on my webpage also addresses these questions so you get to know me better.

Planing for doula support is just as vital as planing for a new home, a career, college entry, a wedding, or buying a new car. Having a doula support is an investment.
