Why Hire a Virtual Doula?
There are many reasons why a family hires a Virtual Doula.
Maybe you live in a place in the world that does not have many Doulas available. Maybe your birth place does not allow in-person Doulas. No matter the reason, we're ready and equipped to help.
Using the technology of your choice, your Virtual Doula provides preparation and guidance to you and your partner, with comfort measures to utilize at each step of labor.
They'll give insight and feedback, answering questions and helping you make informed decisions regarding your birth choices.
Your Doula will provide genuine human interaction.
Your Doula WON”T have to wear a mask while being with you during your labor on video (unlike your partner and medical team) – oh the value of shared facial expression. This will add warmth and compassion to your birth environment.
Your Doula can take pictures.
Over some select video platforms (like Facetime) to help capture your beauty and hard work in birthing your child – and of the tender moments your partner may share within.
Your Doula will support your Partner.
Your partner will have LOADS of helpful reminders in how to keep things going in a positive direction – illustrations, affirmations and a deep feeling that your doula has his/her back in this incredible role as your main support!
Your Doula provides support from pregnancy through those early moments with your baby.
As your pregnancy and labor unfolds, your Doula, with respect and presence, will hold your personal vision of birthing your baby with step-by-step guidance.

How Available are the Doulas?
Doulas shape their lives around being there when women need them most. They are dedicated to providing ready support and communication for you, whenever you need it. Generally your Doula will get back to you as soon as possible when you reach out to them, and will be very flexible on when you schedule calls and check-ins.
When it comes to your labor and birth for Birth Doula Services, this is where Doulas are available 24/7 for you. They block off weeks the best they can so that they only take as many births as they will be available to take care of.
That said, nature has a mind of her own, and sometimes there are overlaps with labors and births. We will do our best to not let that happen, but if it does, one of our other certified Birth Doulas will step up to be there for you!
Where are you located?
The Womb Room is in Baltimore, Maryland, in the quirky downtown artsy neighborhood known as Hampden, hon. While we would typically love to meet you at the Studio, or to visit with you somewhere in Maryland, there are other ways we can support you!
Online Doula Services from The Womb Room are available throughout the United States, and beyond! Contact the Doulas!
How about Privacy?
Your security and privacy is of utmost importance to us, so The Womb Room takes it seriously. We selected email, phone, and video chat communications systems which have been certified to be HIPPA compliant, which is the standard for healthcare providers. If you prefer to communicate directly with your Doula's phone or another means of communication, we cannot guarantee the same level of HIPPA protection. However all Doulas with The Womb Room are committed to protecting your privacy,
Is Insurance Accepted?
While we do not directly accept insurance for our Doula services, we are more than happy to provide you with any documentation you need to seek reimbursement from your insurance company.
If you're hoping to use your insurance for doula services, we recommend contacting your insurance company to determine your benefits, document who you spoke with and what they said, all prior to hiring your doula.
