We are planning on using a doula for our birth and have met several over the last few weeks. We have found the one we like, but not sure how to say no to the others. You can't really say you're going in a different direction, and I don't want to offend anyone, so any recommendations on how to most appropriately let a doula you've interviewed know that you won't be selecting them???
We had to do something similar with midwives and basically I just left it at while I think you're exceptionally qualified we just felt we clicked better with someone else
They're professionals. It's no different than letting any other vendor know you've chosen someone else. if you can't say no to a doula, who by all means should understand exactly why need to be comfortable with their personality and perspective and might not click, how are you going to say no to other people who will try to get involved or influence your parenting in the future? Quit hemming and hawing and just get it over with.
Also, per the PP, post in Randoms threads in the future for further advice or support. We like clean boards.

You say no to them... Simple as that.
