Frequently asked questions
-
A doula is a professional trained to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals, typically women, before, during, and after childbirth. The term "doula" comes from the ancient Greek word meaning "a woman who serves." Doulas are not medical professionals but play a crucial role in the birthing process by offering continuous support to the birthing person and their family, helping to create a more positive and empowering birth experience.
Having a birth and/or postpartum doula by your side can greatly enhance your childbirth and early motherhood journey. Doulas offer consistent physical, emotional, and informational support tailored to each mother's specific needs, helping them feel empowered, confident, and well-prepared throughout labor, delivery, and the postpartum period (the 4th trimester). By having a doula, mothers benefit from unwavering support and advocacy, leading to a more positive, satisfying, and uplifting birth experience.

Our comprehensive strategy takes into account every aspect of your well-being, covering physical, emotional, and mental health. Our focus is on nurturing the entire individual, not just treating symptoms.
We take a holistic (meaning whole, all of it, covering all bases) approach. Not only are we trained in doula work, work as birthworker and birthkeeper to freebirth and homebirths, but we’re also certified in functional nutrition and a wide array of mindset and energy modalities — including EFT tapping and hypnosis (hello hypno birth!)

Our packages are listed on the services pages and are all inclusive. There are no hidden fees (even if your labor is longer than planned), and you will know exactly what you’re paying for. Transparency is a huge value for us, and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Most doulas became doulas because 1 of 2 reasons: either they hired a doula and really loved their support, OR they had a less than ideal birth experience and desire to help more moms have a much better experience. Our story is no different. Read more about our founder Mallory and how Mama Expanded got started.
We are very passionate about unconditionally supporting moms, no matter which baby this is for you, and offering you resources, knowledge and insights to help you make more informed decisions.
