Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What’s the difference between a doula and a midwife?

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and shortly after birth. A midwife is a medical provider who manages your clinical care in certain settings, such as a birthing center or home birth. Think of your doula as a supportive guide and advocate—someone by your side to help you feel informed, confident, and calm throughout the process.


2. When should I hire a doula?

Most families choose to hire a doula during the second trimester to allow time to build a relationship and plan for birth. However, it’s never too early or too late—just send an email to check for availability!


3. Do you support hospital births, home births, and birth centers?

Yes! We support all birth settings, and work with your chosen care team whether you’re birthing at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center. Our role is to ensure you feel supported and empowered, no matter where or how you give birth.


4. How far do you travel for births, postpartum support, and childbirth education?

We currently offer in-person services in Busan and surrounding area (Gimhae, Geoje, Daegu, Ulsan), based on availability. For childbirth education, traveling classes can be arranged for a minimum of 3 couples.


5. What’s included in childbirth education, and why is it important?

Our childbirth education classes cover everything from the stages of labor to pain relief options, hospital procedures, postpartum care, breastfeeding, and newborn basics. Whether it’s your first birth or your fourth, education helps you feel informed, reduce fear, and make choices that align with your values and preferences.
