What I do

Having me as a doula, means I will be available for communication, support and resources. You will message me after each midwife or doctor appointment for updates, questions or concerns. I will meet you in your home around 36 weeks gestation for a 1-3 hour visit discussing what to expect and will address any questions or concerns you may have about your awaited birthing time. I will also be on call for you 2-3 weeks before your estimated due date. Once labor starts I am available for you through your labor and up to two hours postpartum.  I will also be available for breastfeeding advice and support.

My birth doula services include:

  • One free consultation for a chance to meet in person, get answers to questions you may have, and to see if we are a good fit together
  • One prenatal meeting to discuss your pregnancy, your plans for your labor, delivery, and any concerns you may have
  • 24 hour phone availability 2-3 weeks before your estimated due date
  • Continuous support (emotional, physical, and informational for you and your partner) during labor and delivery
  • I will stay with you for up to 2 hours after the birth
  • Breastfeeding support
  • Help creating a birth plan, if needed
  • book, video, podcast etc. recomendations upon request
  • Community referrals and resources, if needed, to assist you in pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and newborn care
  • Ongoing telephone and e-mail support from date of hire
  • Photos during labor and delivery, if desired
  • A postpartum visit (upon request) to welcome the baby, discuss the birth, baby, and to help with any issues you may have. 
  • A backup doula (only if necessary)
