When I saw CNM Caitlin French flipping through my book on TikTok, I giggled like a little school girl and galloped around the house—no chill whatsoever. Hearing a midwife call A Doula’s Guide to Labor Positions a “great resource” made my whole week. 💛

Hiring a doula is personal—like choosing someone to walk alongside you in one of life’s biggest moments. But how do you know if a doula is the right fit? This blog walks you through the signs, questions to ask, and how to trust your gut so you can build a birth team that feels supportive, aligned, and truly yours.

Spinning Babies® techniques aren’t off the table with an epidural—many can be adapted to support progress and comfort. This post shares labor positions from A Doula’s Guide to Labor Positions that use balance, gravity, and alignment to help baby move, even with limited mobility. Because you don’t have to choose between pain relief and purposeful labor.
