Birth is a deeply personal experience, and no two families need exactly the same kind of support. My role is to meet you where you are and help you feel prepared, supported, and confident as you navigate your own path to birth. Your support may include: Getting to know you, your family, and what matters most to you. Exploring your hopes, questions, and concerns about birth. Preparing for the many possibilities that birth may bring. Creating space for you to talk through your preferences and birth wishes. Comfort measures and hands-on support during labor. Emotional reassurance and encouragement. Helping your partner or support person feel confident in their role. Providing evidence-based information when you have questions. Helping you think through your options without judgment. Supporting your voice and your right to make informed choices. Continuing to support you if your birth takes an unexpected path. Offering postpartum support as you settle into life with your new baby. What I don’t do: I don’t make decisions for you, provide medical care, or replace your healthcare team. I am here to complement your care by offering continuous, personal support

-Up to 12 visits over 6 weeks- The first weeks after birth can be beautiful, exhausting, joyful, overwhelming, and everything in between. You don’t have to navigate them alone. This package is designed to give you a steady source of practical and emotional support as you recover, learn your baby, and find your rhythm as a family. We will meet you where you are—whether that means holding the baby while you shower, helping with a simple meal, listening while you process your birth, offering a second set of hands, or simply reminding you that you are doing better than you think. Postpartum support may include: Non-medical newborn and family adjustment support. Emotional support and compassionate listening. Support with basic infant care and soothing. Feeding support within the doula’s scope of practice. Light household support related to the postpartum period. Simple meal preparation. Support while the birthing parent rests or showers. Help establishing routines and finding your family’s rhythm. Referrals to appropriate medical, mental health, lactation, or community professionals when needs fall outside my scope of practice. The package includes up to 12 visits over six weeks. Visits are scheduled based on your needs and my availability. Unused visits do not carry over beyond the six-week service period unless we agree otherwise in writing.
