Birth Doula

As your birth doula I will support and empower you on your journey with education and hands-on support. f a partner is involved, I hope to also help them in their desired role and experience during the birth journey by empowering them with various ways for them to be involved. I will show up for you as a grounded, kind, and nurturing birth companion. I I also will bring years of embodiment practices, bodywork, somatic counseling, and herbal and nutritional knowledge.

At the core of my work is an understanding that this incredible journey of bringing life into the world can be deeply healing and transformational when it is held with respect for the wisdom of the body, compassionate presence, and skillful action.

 

Doula Package Includes:

  • A Complimentary Initial Meeting during which we will discuss your questions and vision for birth. I can answer any questions you might have for me about the kind of support I offer as a doula. This is a good time for us to see if we might be a good fit for working together prior to signing a contract.

  • Two Prenatal Home Visits that are 2-3 hours each where we will discuss things to do during pregnancy to support your health and comfort, techniques to support your comfort and health during birth, your personal birth plan, the role of your birth partner during labor and after, postpartum preparation, and any other lingering questions you might have. This is an important time for us to develop our connection, for you to prepare for your birth, and where I can learn how I can best support you during birth.

  • Labor Support from week 37 till your baby is born I am on-call and available at anytime for text, phone, and email support. I can help determine when labor begins and join you at your home during labor before we call your home-midwife or go to the hospital or birth center.

  • Two Postpartum Home Visits at which I can support you in this new time of having a baby to care by helping you find comfort in your body, lactation guidance, or refer to other professionals such as chiropractor and sleep or lactation specialists. You also will have the opportunity to reflect on your birth experience with me and we can review any questions or concerns you might have.

It would be my honor to be your advocate and guide during this transformational time in your family’s life.
