BIRTH DOULA

As your birth doula, my intention is to help you feel resourced, prepared, and empowered. I will meet you where you’re at with a warm, grounded presence and trust in your decisions.

Birth Doula Support Includes:

Prenatal Visits

We will meet for at least two prenatal visits, in which we will get to know one another and prepare together for your birth and postpartum.

Prenatal visit topics may include:

  • Prenatal care options (testing, ultrasound, etc)

  • Physiological birth education

  • Crafting your personalized birth plan

  • Comfort measures and mindset

  • Physiologic needs of early postpartum

  • Planning for postpartum and building a support network

  • Postpartum food: menu ideas, traditional foods, preparing freezer meals

  • Matrescence: growing into your new role as a mother

  • Partner’s role in birth and postpartum

  • Education around minerals, nutrition, and herbal remedies

  • Breastfeeding preparation

  • Safe infant sleep preparation

  • Physiologic baby care education

Labor & Birth

I will be on call to attend your birth beginning at 37 weeks. I will meet you at your home or desired birth place during active labor and will stay with you until you and baby are settled in after birth.

During labor, I will be present to offer you (and your partner/family) emotional and physical support, information around choices that may come up, and help with older children. I deeply value informed consent and will help you to feel resourced when decision-making is necessary. I will support your care team in creating an environment that makes you feel safe and held and allows for birth to unfold physiologically.
