“Why Did You Become a Doula?” This is one of the big questions if you Google “What to ask my Doula in an interview”. It’s one of the first questions they tell you to ask.  Ever wondered why?   It seems like a basic question and probably doesn’t matter that much to WHY you would hire them, right?  Wrong.  Anyone in business/HR/hiring will tell you that every question asked in an interview has underlying meanings. From asking your goals and dreams to your favorite color, they are looking for something in your response. There aren’t any hiring seminars on interviewing a ..read more

It’s day 7’s giveaway and we are doubling up to catch up! The next gift we would like to gift is, The Baby Shusher!! Everyone does it, the baby starts to fuss so you stand and bounce and start “shushing” and when you really think about it, do you ever wonder why that’s drilled into your head as a soothing technique..? I mean, if someone is upset it’s kind of rude to ‘shush’ them! Remember a few days ago when we talked about the swaddle and re-creating the snug environment for your baby and how comforting that is? Well here’s another tip! Babies are used to a constantly loud environment insid ..read more

We’re so glad you’re back! It’s been a busy few days and I think it’s the perfect time to pull out this amazing gift!! Of all the gifts that you can give a new mom, this is by far the BEST. We are gifting one family a 10 hour night of Post Partum Doula support. Now what does that mean exactly? I’m glad you asked! Overnight post partum support looks a little different for each family but the gist of it is this, you have a highly trained professional come into your home to stay with your baby, that can be in the baby’s room or a bassinet out in the living room. She will soothe the baby when he ..read more
