Covid-19 Recommendations For Bloom Baby Affiliated Doulas

With the continued impact of Covid-19, supporting our Clients and affiliated Doulas to be as safe as possible remains important to us. Based upon current information and state-wide statistics we would like to offer you the following guidelines and recommendations, to be considered as they apply. These recommendations have also been added to all client contracts to facilitate full transparency and open communication. As always, we are happy to answer any additional questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us HERE.

We recommend that: 

  •  Complimentary consultations take place virtually, or in a mutually agreed-upon space where appropriate social distancing may be maintained, if desired.


  • Each Doula works with one client at a time unless there is transparency in regard to the precautions being taken (which may include discussion around vaccination status and/or Covid-19 testing) & there is mutual agreement between all potentially involved parties.

  • All prenatal visits with your Birth and/or Postpartum Doula take place virtually, or in a mutually agreed-upon space where appropriate social distancing may be maintained, if desired.
 

  • Clients and Doulas maintain full transparency in discussions about any potential exposure and/or developing symptoms throughout the working relationship.


Securing Back-up

Please remember that you must secure back-up for each of your Bloom Baby contracts, whether you are providing services as a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, or both. Failure to do so is a breech of contract, so please be sure to complete this step ASAP once you have a signed contract and deposit. We ask that you reach out to your fellow affiliated Bloom Baby Doulas first, looking in your current tier and/or above. If you are unable to find an appropriate back-up within our community you may also look to the wider Doula community. If your back-up is not affiliated with Bloom Baby, however, please make sure that they are aware of and willing to comply with all current Bloom Baby policies including the Covid-19 Recommendations above.
