The Partnership Process

Hello! We are so glad you found us.

As doulas, it is our passion to empower women to optimally prepare for a positive birth experience through education and continuous support. We assist our clients in discovering and embracing their inner strength and confident beauty throughout their birth experience.

Choosing Birth Doulas of Michiana ensures that you will receive a high level continuity of care from a team of highly experienced, compassionate doulas.

Here’s how our process works!

​

01 | Prenatal Support

Choose your primary doula. Each of our doulas have different skills they bring to the table. You get to pick who best suits your needs. Your primary doula will meet with you twice during pregnancy to help you prepare for birth. They are a continuous resource throughout your pregnancy. They help you navigate the system and educate you on evidenced- based options.

 

02 | Labor Support

We realize that one doula cannot do it all, and great strength, growth, and support comes when we join together rather than going it alone! Birth Doulas of Michiana was founded in response to a concern over the rate of doula burnout and the need to guarantee continuous support to a larger number of local clients.  

 

03 | Postpartum Support

After the arrival of your baby, the doula will remain until you are settled. They will assist with breast-feeding, recovery, birth processing, etc. Your primary doula will continue to be a resource during postpartum and will meet with you at least once during this time.

 

04 | Meet our Team of Doulas

Not sure which doula to choose as your primary doula? No worries! You can meet us all at our  monthly "Meet the Doulas" events. These events allow you to meet each doula in our partnership.
