Questions families ask
Do you do overnight postpartum visits?
No. Postpartum visits happen during the day. Labor support can run overnight because it is continuous.
What area do you serve?
I’m based in San Antonio. In-home and hospital support has no travel fee within about 50 miles, which includes Boerne and New Braunfels, and I travel farther for a flat round-trip fee. Virtual prenatal sessions happen on Google Meet, wherever you are.
Will a doula replace my partner?
No. Partner coaching is part of the plan, so the person beside you knows how to help, and you both get support.
What if I have a medical question or an emergency?
Call your OB, midwife, or care provider for medical questions. In an emergency, call 911. I can help you think through what to ask, but I don’t give medical advice.
