Birth and Postpartum Doula Services

As a DONA-trained birth doula, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. My goal is to ensure you feel empowered, informed, and supported during this transformative time.

 

Labor Support

My labor support services are designed to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and shortly after childbirth. I am committed to helping you have the most satisfying birth experience possible, whether you choose to give birth at a hospital, birthing center, or at home.

  • 24/7 On-Call Support: Available from the moment of hire to provide reassurance and answer any questions you may have.

  • Prenatal Visits: Two in-depth visits to discuss your labor preferences, birth plan, and to practice labor management techniques.

  • Continuous Labor Support: I’ll be with you throughout your entire labor and for 1-2 hours after delivery to ensure you and your baby are comfortable and supported.

  • Immediate Postpartum Assistance: Help with initial breastfeeding and ensuring a smooth transition to the postpartum period.

  • Postpartum Visits: Two in-depth postpartum visits to process your birth experience, help you care for yourself and your baby, troubleshoot feeding issues, and more.

Postpartum Support

I offer in-home postpartum visits to provide support as you recover from birth and adjust to life with your new baby. Postpartum support can be booked by the hour, or you can purchase a package of 20 or 40 hours of support to be used as you see fit. These visits are tailored to meet your unique needs and can include a variety of services:
