Why Work With a Doula Partnership?
Sean Hoke and Kalyn Hulten have partnered together to provide a shared call experience for their clients. Much like their colleagues Kate Dewey and Jane Drichta, they feel that a partnership provides the fullest scope of assistance. Some of the benefits of this style for our birthing clients are:
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I see if we are a good fit?
Set up an interview with us! Click here for our Interested Client Form. Interviews and prenatal visits are currently being done via Zoom video chat for your safety and convenience. A scheduling link will be sent to you upon completion of the form linked above.
After we've met and I have decided to hire you, what happens?
A deposit of $500 is collected upon hire and you will be sent links to book the appointments for the first and second prenatal visits with your doulas. The remaining balance of $800 is collected at/after the second prenatal visit or around 37 weeks. You will also receive a digital copy of our Doula Contract to review and sign.
What happens when I think I am in labor?
We have one call number that will be provided to our clients so getting in touch with us is simple. The doula on call will help you navigate your early labor and help decide when to join you in labor for more hands on support. The doula will be with you, working through your contractions and helping you navigate through your labor until the birth of your baby. After your baby is born, the doula will remain with you for at least the first hour postpartum.
After the birth, is there a postpartum visit?
The doula who primarily attended your birth will come to do your postpartum visit about 1-2 weeks after your baby's birth and you will have access to that same call number in the event that any questions arise during your postpartum time. Additional 60-minute postpartum check-in visits over zoom can be added at no additional cost at any time.

- A complete doula experience. At least two prenatal visits (officially these are unlimited, and 2 is our minimum so we get to know you), continuous support for you during your birth and continuing through the first hour postpartum, and one postpartum visit in your home after the birth.
- Two heads are better than one! With a combined ten years of experience, they have attended a wide range of births and are passionate about providing exceptional care tailored to fit your needs. Each doula will attend one of the prenatal visits with you and work together to guide you with your preparation for birth.
- Shared call means you are always calling a fresh-faced doula when you need one. As we will also be providing backup to each other, you are less likely to have a doula you don't know attending your birth in the event that the primary doula is ill or with another family. If you are enduring a longer than usual birth, your doulas may opt to swap out in order to get some rest, ensuring that you are always attended by an energized and well rested doula.*
