While our doulas have traditional Postpartum Doula Training, most are also cross-trained as Newborn Care Specialists.

Traditional Postpartum Doula training focuses exclusively on understanding the needs of parents in the early days, weeks, and months after baby comes. Their primary goal is rest, nurture, and some baby care.

Being cross-trained as a Newborn Care specialist means our professional team has more extensive knowledge in baby care, development, and baby sleep.

We are also able to guide your baby into healthy sleep habits right away so you can have more rest and a lifetime of better sleep

You deserve the highest level of care and support.  This means experienced and knowledgeable postpartum doulas, but it also means dedication to your schedule.

Instead of just saying "yes" to as many families as possible, we are the only agency in town that closes our books when we've scheduled our capacity.

This means we limit the number of families we work with each year. Once we commit to working with you, we hold our availability for your family.

We take great care choosing which doulas are affiliated with Birthing Stone.

While we carefully consider each candidate's background and experience, we rarely contract with newly trained postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists.

Most of our doulas have been affiliated with us for over 5 years and have many more years of experience.

Each candidate is required to have:

• Background Checks
• CPR/First Aid
• Training from trusted doula training organizations
• Multiple years of experience
• Reference checks
• In-depth interviews
