Birth Doula Service

Support during pregnancy includes: 

• Support via phone, text, or email from time of hire
• Two prenatal meetings to discuss general childbirth education, comfort measures, and birth preferences
• Access to lending library and local resources list
• Assistance in drafting a birth plan

Continuous labor and birth support: 

• Advocating for your birth preferences
• Encouragement and affirmation of normal progress
• Massage and acupressure techniques
• Recommendations on labor positions
• Help your partner help you
• Keeping the atmosphere you desire

Postpartum support:

• 1-2 hours immediate postpartum support with breastfeeding, infant care, etc.
• One visit postpartum to celebrate, process, and review your birth experience
• I’m happy to run a load of laundry, do dishes or prepare a meal during this visit.

I attend births that take place in hospitals, birth centers, or at home accompanied by licensed midwives. Whether you plan to have a scheduled cesarean, unmedicated childbirth, or something in-between, I will support you and your decisions.  My goal is to provide you with support and resources so that you are confident in making informed choices about your care. This is your birth, your body, and your baby. 

In consideration of COVID-19 and the visitor restrictions within hospitals, I am happy to commit additional time during prenatal meetings so that you and your support person are as confident as possible during labor and provide virtual support. 

 As this is the beginning of my practice, I'm a great option for parents who are looking for a budget-friendly doula with training top of mind! My fee is $500. I'm open to discussing payment plans and providing discounts for military families, single parents, and those who are considering adoption. 

I am continually adding to my knowledge, skills, and tool set so if you don’t see something listed here please don’t hesitate to ask! I would be so honored to support your family during this special time and look forward to speaking with you.
