FAQ

Families often ask

Is a doula the same as a midwife?
No. A midwife is a licensed clinical professional who provides medical care. A doula is a trained, non-medical companion focused on comfort, advocacy, and continuous emotional support.
What if I want an epidural or need a cesarean?
Every birth choice is honored. Your doula stays with you through medicated, unmedicated, or surgical births — and keeps supporting you afterward.
What languages do you speak?
Our team supports families in English, French, and Portuguese. Tell us your preferred language when you reach out.
