Ask a Doula Anything: Q&A Panel(in-person)
at OFJCC, Palo Alto in Jeff Center for Families (Room G106)

“Ask a Doula Anything” is an in-person Q&A panel session where expecting families can meet several doulas all in one place! It is geared towards families who: 1) want to learn more about what doulas do, 2) are considering finding a doula but don’t know where to start, or 3) have questions about hiring a doula.


Possible questions/topics to be addressed:

  • The role of a birth and/or postpartum doula

  • What services & support a doula typically offers

  • Benefits of working with a doula

  • What the hiring process is like

  • What questions to ask when interviewing a doula

  • Pricing estimates

  • And more!

Sign Ups:

  • Signups are first come, first serve. Spots are limited, so thanks for your patience and understanding!

  • We will also try to rotate so that doulas who don’t get in for the current session may have a chance for the next ones.

  • Fill out this Google Form

    • If you get a spot, you will get an email confirmation

    • If we cannot approve your spot, you will be put on a waitlist and we’ll do our best to give you priority for future dates

  • *Commitment: If you sign up, please honor your commitment to be there! We know emergencies can happen, and that doulas are often on-call. If possible, please arrange backup plans to have another Blossom Provider Doula sub in for you. Minimizing last minute cancellations greatly alleviates Blossom staff.
