Education, support and advocacy for birth and wellness choices across Hawai'i

Finding and Interviewing Doulas

22 Dec 2023 4:05 PM | PBC Staff (Administrator)

We recommend interviewing several doulas to see how you connect. Some questions to considering asking are:

  • What is your birth philosophy?
  • What training have you had?
  • How many births have you attended?
  • Have you worked with my doctor/midwife before?
  • What kinds of suggestions do you typically make at a birth?
  • What do you provide as a part of your services?
  • What do you see your role as during the birth?
  • How do you help include my partner in the birth?
  • Can you provide references?
  • How much are your services?
