These steps will help ensure a seamless digital application process, with both parties receiving confirmation that the application has been submitted and an approval timeline post-submission of approximately two weeks.
Begin by entering your name and email address, along with your doula’s name and email address at the same time.
Ensure these fields are entered correctly, as a single copy of the application will be sent to both your email and your doula’s email simultaneously.
Fill out all the required fields on page 1, 3, 4 and 5.
Verify that all family-related fields are completed before pressing the submit button.
Please note: If any required fields are left blank, the form will not submit to the Doula Program.
After submission, the doula will receive the same application form via the email you provided in step one.
The doula must sign the required fields on the family application form. (Page 1, 2, and 5)
They will also need to provide a quote for doula services (up to $1200.00) and sign the form through Docusign.
This step finalizes the agreement between the family and the doula for the expected services.
Once both parties (family and doula) have completed and submitted their portions of the form, they will each receive a confirmation email from Docusign.
This email will confirm that the form has been successfully submitted to the Doula Program.
Due to an increased workload over the past year, it may take up to two weeks after submission for the application to be processed and approved once it has been entered into our system.
Please allow up to two (2) weeks for your application to be processed and approved. You will be notified regardless of approval.
