Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to use Meela?

Meela is completely free to use for parents and expecting parents. Once you find and hire a doula, you will work with them to set up a payment plan based on the services they are providing. There is no commitment to hire any of the doulas on Meela.

Your doula and you will agree upon your preferred fee structure, and your doula will send you itemized invoices through Meela. You can then pay securely through the app in just a few taps.

How can I get doula support during COVID-19?

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, our doulas are now offering virtual doula support and virtual consultations. Our doulas are here to answer your questions and help you navigate childbirth during COVID-19.

Who are the doulas on Meela?

Meela is proud to have a network of the top-rated doulas in the United States who uphold the highest standards of the doula profession. Doulas with a check mark on their profile have gone through an extensive review process which includes multiple positive client recommendations, a review of certifications, training and experience, as well as an interview process with a licensed medical practitioner

To support our community and promote financial inclusion of doula services, Meela’s network of doulas can range in experience level – from recently certified professionals to established doula agencies that support celebrities.

We are proud of our community’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. We’re also proud to provide culturally competent care that meets parents’ needs across the financial spectrum.

Disclaimer: Meela does not guarantee the experience you may have with doulas on the platform nor does it guarantee the accuracy of any claims made or credentials provided by doulas on Meela. We recommend that you interview a range of potential service providers to independently verify their qualifications to provide the services you have requested.

What is virtual doula support?

Virtual doula support provides the same level of emotional and informational support that you get from in-person doulas, except delivered via phone and video chats. Virtual doula support is almost always provided by a doula who also provides in-person prenatal, labor, and postpartum support.

Virtual doula packages can vary by doula. Some offer individual prenatal or postpartum sessions, while others offer their services through a predefined package of sessions and resources.

With Meela, you can let us know your budget and preferred type of virtual support, and we can match you with the right doula.

Doula support : In-person or virtual pregnancy, labor, and postpartum support; adoption, fertility, and bereavement support

Lactation support : In-person or virtual lactation visits
