Featured Birth Doulas
Dafna Rose
I am a birthing doula and birth educator with over a year of hands-on experience supporting women through labor, birth, and postpartum. My approach is rooted in compassionate, evidence-based care, focused on helping women feel empowered and informed throughout their birthing experience. In addition, my own fertility journey deeply shaped my path and inspired me to become a fertility coach, offering guidance and emotional support to women navigating the often complex and isolating road to conception. I bring a blend of professional training and personal understanding to every client relationship, creating a space of trust, empathy, and holistic support from fertility through birth.

What is a birth doula?
A birth doula is a trained professional who stays with you before, during, and after labor. They don't replace your medical team — they work alongside them.
- Help you build and communicate your birth plan
- Keep you calm and focused during contractions
- Advocate for your preferences with hospital staff
- Support your partner so they can support you
- Stay with you from active labor through the first hours after birth
When to hire one
Most families connect with a doula in the second trimester. The earlier you book, the more time you have to build a relationship before the birth. Worth considering if you're a first-time parent who wants extra support, navigating the Israeli hospital system as an English speaker, planning a specific type of birth (natural, VBAC, epidural-free), or your partner wants backup so they're not carrying it alone.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a birth doula cost in Israel?
- Rates vary by experience and scope. Most birth doulas in Israel charge between ₪2,000 and ₪6,000 for full birth support including prenatal meetings and postpartum follow-up. Rates are set by the specialist — you'll see them on each profile.
- Do I need a doula if I'm planning an epidural?
- Yes. Pain management is one part of the birth experience. A doula helps with everything before, during, and after the epidural — positioning, communication with staff, emotional grounding, and recovery.
- Can my partner still be involved?
- A doula supports your partner as much as you. Most families say their partner felt more confident and less anxious with a doula present, not less involved.
- What happens after I send an inquiry?
- The specialist gets a notification and responds directly to you. Most respond within 24–48 hours.
- Are the doulas on Doulas Israel vetted?
- All profiles are reviewed before going live. You'll see certifications, training, and experience listed on each profile.
