This woman will be by your side through an intense journey. She will see you at your most vulnerable, and in order to help you, you must trust her! No matter the reason, there are some people we just don\u2019t feel right around\u2026. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable around your doula, then regardless of how good a doula she is, she might not be the best doula for you. Trust your instincts! And if you do like your Doula- hire her, no matter her fee.
