Frequently asked questions

What does a doula do?

A doula provides continuous emotional, physical and informational support before, during and after birth. They don't replace your midwife or medical team — they complement them, helping you feel informed, calm and supported.

How much does a doula cost?

Fees vary by doula, location and the package you choose. Each profile links to the doula directly so you can discuss their packages and find the right fit for your budget.

When should I book a doula?

Many families book in the second trimester, but it's never too early or too late to reach out. Some doulas also offer last-minute and postnatal-only support.

What does trauma-informed support mean?

Trauma-informed doulas are trained to provide care that prioritises your sense of safety, choice and control — especially valuable if you've had a previous difficult birth or experience.
