Services Offered

As a professionally trained, and certified doula, I offer the following services to support my clients through their journey to and through birth. These are in addition to a free, no obligation initial interview/consult to determine if I am the doula for you.


Prenatal Visits

Depending on when hired, we will meet at least once (likely twice) in your home. Prenatal visits build the foundation of a non-judgmental, highly supportive working relationship. 

​By learning what is important to you and your partner, the time spent in these visits helps me support you the way you want to be supported.

During these visits we will:
  • Become acquainted.
  • Explore priorities and any fears or concerns. 
  • Practice relaxation techniques, opportunities for movement & body positions.
  • Involve your partner.
  • Share ideas for early labor.
  • Discuss your birth preferences and how we might best work together.

I am available via email and text anytime to respond to questions or if seeking evidence based information.
 
I’m on-call 24/7, beginning 2 weeks prior to your guess date.


Labor & Birth


  • In early labor, I offer suggestions and reminders via phone and/or text to encourage you to be calm, comfortable and confident.

  • I will join you when the time is right for you.  

  • I’ll meet you at your preferred location (home, hospital or birth center).

  • I provide constant, uninterrupted physical and emotional support.  

  • I help get answers to questions to ensure you have the information needed to make informed decisions and have the time to consider all options. 

  • I will provide positive reassurance and encouragement for all of the hard work and decisions made.

  • Inspiring you to turn inward and allow your body and baby to lead the way, we will use a variety of techniques, positions and comfort measures to bring positive labor memories and birth experience for all involved.  


Postpartum

  • I will remain for 1-2 hours to assist with initial breastfeeding, take pictures of the newly formed family and ensure everyone is getting something to eat and drink and is (possibly) ready for a nap.

  • I will check in a day or two after birth via phone call or brief hospital visit.  

  • I will visit your home for a reflective, postpartum follow up visit and share any notes or timeline I have.  

  • Once baby is here, I’m still here for you. If you need additional support or resources, I encourage you to reach out at any time.
