Some Interview Questions

To discover the specific training, experience and services offered by anyone who provides postnatal doula support, I would encourage potential clients to ask the following questions:

* Tell me/us about your experience as a mother

* What doula training have you had? (you might consider checking with the organisation)

* Tell me/us about your experience as a postnatal doula

* What is your philosophy about parenting and supporting women and their families during the postnatal period?

* What different types of services do you offer?

* May I/we call you with postnatal questions or concerns before the birth?

* When do your services begin after birth?

* Do you work with one or more backup doulas for times when you are not available?

* May I/we meet them or get contact details?

* What are your fees and deposit or refund policies?


… And any more you can think of!
