Frequently Asked Questions

​​When would I call a Perinatal Hermana instead of a doula?

An Hermana session is perfect for someone who:

​1) wants support and information quickly but doesn't have the time or energy to seek out a doula yet  

2) is late into postpartum and her doula and midwife/doctor appointments have ended, but still has questions or concerns

3) has gone through a difficult procreative experience (such as miscarriage) and needs to talk through it as soon as possible with a knowledgable and experienced support person
