When you book with Nested & Nourished, you choose the doula that resonates most with you, or we can match you based on your birth preferences and personality. We suggest meeting with the one(s) that peak your interest for an in-person consult to see if the chemistry is there and ask all of your deepest questions. Whichever doula you decide to book with will be your doula — a close friend to support you throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In the rare event that she is unavailable (due to illness, attending another birth, etc.), you’ll have a trusted, philosophy-aligned backup doula ready to step in seamlessly. Note: Thankfully, this has never happened! We just like to be prepared.

Yes! Every doula on our team is trained in the same holistic, autonomy-first approach to birth. We prioritize physiological birth, whole-body nourishment, informed consent, and a deep respect for your choices. No matter who you work with, you’ll receive the same knowledgeable, intuitive, and personalized support. Our packages are designed to reflect the skills of all of our doulas, so you’re guaranteed those items no matter who you choose; however, there may be additional services available (i.e. photography) depending on which doula you go with. Feel free to ask more specific questions in your contact form or at an in-person consult!

That’s completely fine! Your doula will be the one supporting you unless an emergency arises. Our backup system is simply there for peace of mind—we want you to feel completely secure and supported, no matter what. Thankfully, the need for backup has never actually happened for us!

Absolutely! If you’d like to meet your backup doula in advance, we can arrange a virtual or in-person introduction so you feel completely comfortable.

While we specialize in homebirth support, we also attend birth center births—provided the environment aligns with autonomy-first, low-intervention care. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to discuss your options and help you advocate for the birth you desire.

Yes! In addition to addressing your birth questions at prenatal visits, our clients have exclusive access to the one-of-a-kind Holistic Mama Pregnancy & Birth Course — a fully holistic, comprehensive online course for pregnancy, birth and beyond. Depending on the support package you choose, you will either receive a discount code or free access code for the course ($397 value) as well as tailored support and resources from Nested & Nourished throughout your pregnancy.

Absolutely! We believe every mother deserves high-quality birth support, so we offer flexible payment plans to make our services accessible.

All services require a non-refundable deposit to reserve your doula and due date; however, any payments made thereafter are eligible for a refund if the contract is cancelled before 36 weeks. Special circumstances may be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Simply fill out our contact form, and we’ll reach out ASAP to answer your questions and discuss the next steps. Let’s make your pregnancy, birth & postpartum experience exactly what you envision—nourished, empowered, and fully supported.
