Episode 17 - All About Birth Doulas with Rachael Hutchins
About the episode:
In today’s interview, doula Rachael is answering all the questions! And yep, we’re talking about “what is a doula”! We might have defined it before in earlier episodes, but Rachael sheds some light on what brought her to this profession and how she approaches labor support specifically for her doula business and so much more.
We go over…
What’s the benefit of having a doula? (think of them as a trusted source and another layer of information!)
What types of births can doulas support? (did you know there are postpartum doulas?)
How does Rachael navigate hospital/OB births vs home births with midwives? (remember, a doula is focusing on you mama and your wants/needs/desires)
What resources does Rachael provide her clients? (think prenatal to postpartum and everything in between)
How has Rachael’s doula business evolved? (you definitely need to hear the latest updates of how she’s supporting mamas and her career)
What are some of the biggest barriers to hiring a doula that Rachael hears from clients and the birthing community? (there are several, but most pertain to misconceptions - listen to the episode to dispel some of those misunderstandings)
