My Doula Services

Complimentary Get Together

This is for us to get to know each other. I can tell you about my background, training, and experience.  You can share with me your priorities, concerns, and questions regarding your upcoming birth. If you feel we are a good match, I am on call for you from the time you hire me through the birth of your baby and your post partum period. I conduct all interviews virtually via zoom or FaceTime or your preferred video platform.

UNlimited, 24 hour phone/text/email Contact

I love to hear from my clients; it allows us to build a relationship of trust leading up to your birth.  I support you before, during, and after labor by providing evidence-based  information and emotional support, tailoring my approach to each of my clients needs. 

Two Prenatal Visits

This is when we can create a birth plan, prepare questions for your care provider, discuss signs and stages of labor, brainstorm ways to make your pregnancy more physically comfortable,  talk about what to have at your birth, and discuss laboring techniques that might make sense for you. We can discuss how you plan to feed your baby and how to best support that desire, how to prep your home so you are ready for baby, and tips on how to heal.

Labor Support

During labor, I will come to you as soon as you want and stay with you throughout the labor and the birth of your baby.  As an integral part of your birth team, I am there to help you and your partner or any other support people, offering suggestions, information, physical support and to help normalize the process. I will act as a liaison and translator between you and the staff, reminding them of your preferences and helping you ask questions so that you have the information you need to make informed decisions for your family. My priority is to help you make the right choices for your family. After the birth, I will help with the initial breast/chestfeeding and help you get nourished and settled.

Postpartum Visits

I like to visit you the first couple of days that you are home to help with all of the initial issues that come up with feeding, newborn care and healing.We also will be able to process the birth, I will help with baby wearing, infant soothing techniques, newborn care, and referrals to any community resources you and your family might need. As a certified lactation counselor, I am comfortable helping you navigate the initial challenges as you and your baby are learning together. I am available by phone/text/email to answer questions about your baby and your well-being over the coming year.
