Birth Doula Support
Having a birth doula by your side can significantly benefit your birth experience by supporting your birth preferences and goals. Doula support can even lower the risk of postpartum depression.

Birth
In-Home Labor Support
A lot of labor happens at home before you head to your birth location. I can provide virtual and in-person labor support in your home to help you find comfort to labor at home for as long as possible. I can help you assess where you're at in your labor and when is a good time to head to your birth location.
In-Person Birth Support
I block time in my calendar 2 weeks before and after your estimated due date to attend your birth. I will of course do my best to attend your birth, should you go into labor outside this window. I will continue to provide informational, emotional, and physical support when you arrive at your birth location. I improve communication between families and staff by creating opportunities for you ask good questions. I will amplify your voice and help you advocate for your birth preferences. Should your out-of-hospital birth result in a hospital transfer, I will continue supporting you in-person throughout your transfer, providing you a sense of familiarity, safety, and will help advocate for your birth preferences with staff. Should the need for a cesarean birth arise, I will support you in the operating room as hospital policy allows.
Back-Up Doula Support
Should circumstances prevent me from providing in-person birth support, I will arrange a back-up doula for birth support. This may be due to personal illness, injury, emergency, or instances of a long labor, or going into labor outside my on-call window.
Birth Documentation
If desired, I can take pictures or videos for you on my personal phone to document your special day. This is nothing of professional quality and I will prioritize providing you with emotional and physical support first and foremost.
Initial Lactation Support
I can stay with you up to two hours after the birth to assist with initial latches to support lactation if desired.
Postpartum
Postpartum Visits
We can debrief about your birth experience and process together. We can discuss mental health concerns, questions regarding newborn care and lactation.
Baby Wearing Session

Postpartum Care Kit
I'll supply you with my top recommended postpartum supplies and personal care items so you enter into your postpartum recovery with ease. (Included in the Signature and Complete Doula Packages).
Postpartum Meals
Receive three homemade postpartum soups with your preferences and recovery in mind. (Included in the Complete Doula Package).
