My passion for pregnancy and childbirth is as old as my earliest memories. The birth of a younger sibling ignited a powerful interest in pregnant women, new babies and growing families. I have turned that interest into an ability to provide sensitive and knowledgeable support before, during and after the birth of your new baby. I see every pregnancy and birth as a miracle and as a DONA Int'l certified Doula, I feel honored to be able to contribute my expertise to women and families in the Walla Walla Valley and beyond.

Hi! My name is Shana. I am a Doula who loves helping moms. Whether it’s during your birth, at home after birth, or providing child birth education I want to be apart of your Kick Butt Support Team! I love helping moms keep their autonomy while finding their voice in pregnancy and birth.

Recent review

Shana was my doula for the entirety of my pregnancy, birth, and the few days she offers postpartum. As well as doing a maternity photoshoot for my husband and I and grabbing shots in the hospital. I could not recommend her more! She is so good to share with you the facts and wait to be asked to share her opinion if you desire. She has had many of her own experiences both good and bad through her four children to where she is able to relate to a lot and understand what your feeling and can help navigate that. She not only supported me, but also my husband and encouraged him to be there with me. She helped us remember the plan we had made and helped us to stick to it the best we could. Her calming presence in a room and her willingness to be as involved as you needed was outstanding. I could go on and on and highly recommend her as your doula. If you’re doubting the need for another person in the room I highly recommend you reconsider!

Doula Services FAQs

What is a doula and why should you hire one?

A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.

Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Walla Walla, WA?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.

How much does a doula cost in Walla Walla, WA?

In Walla Walla, WA, doula costs are typically in the range of about $1,000 to $2,500 for birth doula services, with many families paying around $1,500 to $2,000 depending on the doula’s experience, what is included in the package, and whether prenatal visits, labor support, and postpartum follow-up are covered; postpartum doulas often charge separately at roughly $25 to $50 per hour.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Walla Walla, WA?

In Walla Walla, WA, insurance coverage for a doula is possible but not guaranteed and depends on your plan: Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) has been moving toward covering doula services, while many private insurance plans still do not routinely cover doulas unless they are part of a specific maternity benefit, reimbursement program, or employer-sponsored package. Nationally, when coverage is available, it may pay all or part of the cost, but many families still pay out of pocket and then seek partial reimbursement using superbills, FSA/HSA funds, or out-of-network benefits. Typical doula fees are often around $800 to $2,500 for birth support, so it is worth checking directly with your insurer and the doula to see whether they are in network, can provide billing codes or a superbill, and whether prenatal, birth, and postpartum visits are covered separately.

What types of doulas are for hire in Walla Walla, WA?

In Walla Walla, WA, families can typically hire several types of doulas, including birth doulas who provide physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and immediate postpartum; postpartum doulas who help with newborn care, feeding support, parent recovery, sleep routines, and household adjustment after birth; antepartum doulas who support people experiencing high-risk pregnancies or extended bed rest; bereavement or loss doulas who assist families through miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or pregnancy termination for medical reasons; abortion doulas who offer nonjudgmental emotional and practical support before, during, and after abortion care; fertility or conception doulas who support individuals through trying to conceive and assisted reproduction; and full-spectrum doulas who may provide support across fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss experiences.

When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?

You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
