Here is a list of birth doulas in the Greater Anchorage area. We are all trained through different organizations but firmly believe in supporting the laboring woman and her family before, during and after birth.

We've found it best to call several to ask the most basic questions, and then later, choose three or four from the list to meet with face to face.

Questions you want to ask on the phone include...

• Are you taking any new doula clients for the month I'm due?
• What's your experience and training as a doula?
• How would you describe your approach to birth as a doula?
• What's your price? And can you provide me with references?

While the answers to your questions are important, you're really looking more to see how you feel with them on the phone. Do you feel comfortable? Do they sound like someone you could relate to? Do you like the sound of their voice? (Yes, really! That is the voice you'll be listening to during birth, and you want it to be pleasant for you.) Once you go through your list, arrange to meet face to face with two or three (or four!) of them.

Even if the first doula you meet feels like the perfect match, you can still meet with other doulas. Being able to compare will help in making your choice. Also, make sure your partner meets the doula as well. It's essential that he also feels comfortable with your chosen doula. Clicking on the "Members" tab above will take you to a page of doula profiles. In order to help you in your doula search you can read a little more about each doula.
