Aleph Apothecary ~ Service Agreement for Doula Support
The Role of A Virtual Doula:
Virtual Doulas will need to utilize a variety of mobile communication tools to work with their clients and provide support. While it is recommended that you are flexible and adaptable to the needs of your clients, it may also be beneficial to choose 2-3 platforms to offer your clients at the most that you are able to use consistently and work well on your mobile device. Doulas do not provide medical diagnosis. Instead, they will refer you to the appropriate professional and possibly suggest questions that you may want to ask in order to facilitate a good discussion with your provider.
Doulas provide emotional and educational support. They do not perform clinical tasks such as
checking blood pressure, fetal heart tones, vaginal exams or any other medical procedure that falls
under the legal definition of practicing medicine.
Doulas do not make decisions for you. They will point you toward accurate, evidence based
information in order to ensure an informed decision, discuss appropriate ways to convey decisions or preferences to your care providers and remind you of previously stated decisions. The responsibility of all decision making lies with you and your care provider.
Doulas do not speak to medical staff on your behalf. They can discuss concerns and options with you, as well as support you in voicing your concerns, ensuring that you have the opportunity to discuss choices with your care provider. It is your responsibility to convey your thoughts to the medical staff.
Doulas cannot promise any specific birth outcome. They cannot overrule you or a medical professional when a care decision has been made or intervene in your care.
