What is a Birth Doula?

A Birth Doula accompanies women in labor to help couples have a more satisfying birth experience. She does not replace the partner as the woman's support person, but can relieve him/her if they need a break and provide them with suggestions for helping the woman in labor. She provides physical comfort, emotional support, and as needed, communication with the staff to make sure you have the information needed to make informed decisions as they arise during labor. A doula can make suggestions for labor progress and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for comfort. Your doula is self- employed and works for you, not your caregiver or hospital.

My Birth Doula services include:

  • A free initial consultation which does not obligate you to use my services

  • At least two prenatal visits to discuss your birth plan and expectations

  • Prenatal support by phone, text or email

  • 24 hours on call which begins at 38 weeks

  • Labor and birth support for mother and her birth team

  • Support after the birth until mom is comfortable and breastfeeding (1-2 hours)

  • 1 postpartum visit scheduled at your convenience

  • Postpartum and breastfeeding support as needed by phone and text

Registry Assistance $55

Need help registering for your new baby? I can help with that! Includes consultation and accompanying you to the store. There are so many different options and products for a new baby and it can be very overwhelming. Let me help you know where to start, what to look for in products, and help you choose the best items for you, your baby, and your family’s needs.

Tuck in Service

Cost: $200 (~4 hours)

This specialty service provides a smooth transition after coming home from your birthing place. I will meet you at your house and provide the following services: help bring in bags and baby, help you shower (if you need to), tuck you into your bed and help make you comfortable, help you breastfeed using your bed and pillows, finish household chores that might have been left undone when you left, start a postpartum soup or meal, and create a calm and peaceful home for you to rest and recover.

Bereavement Doula

Birth can happen in any trimester. As a Stillbirthday-trained doula, I can come alongside you and help you navigate the process of loss. I can help give you resources and hold space for you as you grieve and mourn. 

As a Stillbirthday doula, my bereavement services are free. These services are supported by my business and by those who donate in honor of a loved one and want to pay it forward to other grieving families. If you would like to donate to this, please feel free to do so. Just let me know in the message that you would like to make a donation.
