Here you go!

Hiring a birth or postpartum doula might just be the best decision you make during your pregnancy or after your baby arrives. But how do you find the right one? Here’s a step-by-step guide to make the process easy and smooth.

🌍 DONA Certified Doulas: Trusted Support in 50+ Countries
When you see “DONA Certified”, you know you’re hiring a professional who has the training, hands-on experience, and integrity to support you through birth or postpartum.

💬 Start with an Interview or Consult
Most doula relationships begin with a conversation. This is your chance to ask questions, understand their experience, and see if they’re the right fit. Your comfort matters—go with what feels right for you.

What to Consider When Hiring a Doula:

1️⃣ Comfort – Do you feel at ease with them in your space?
2️⃣ Experience – Have they supported births or postpartum families like yours?
3️⃣ Availability – Are they available when you need them?
4️⃣ Services Offered – Do their offerings align with your needs?
5️⃣ Compatibility – Does the conversation feel easy and supportive?
6️⃣ Fees – Are their services within your budget?
7️⃣ Training & Certification – Are they DONA certified?
