Aemri Marks Birth & Postpartum Doula in Anchorage, AK
About Aemri
I believe every birth is right. There is no single “right” way to give birth, and there is no one-size-fits-all path into parenthood. Your body, your baby, your family, and your choices are yours. My role is not to tell you how to birth. My role is to walk beside you—to listen, to support, to offer information, to help you explore your options, and to hold space for you as your birth unfolds. Whether your birth looks exactly as you imagined or takes an unexpected turn, you deserve to feel respected, informed, supported, and heard.

Birth Doula Support
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
The First Six Weeks-Postpartum Care
-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.

Everything described in Birth Doula and Postpartum Package. Payment plans available for all service offerings. Discounted rate for including both services.
Birth Sibling Support
Birth doesn’t just happen to one person—it is a transition for the whole family. When the time comes to welcome a new baby, older siblings may need care, comfort, and someone they trust while their parents focus on birth. Through our Birth Sibling Care service, a trainee doula who works with BirthRight Doula Care may provide care for your older child(ren) during labor and birth. Our goal is to help your children feel safe, cared for, and included in this important transition while you have the space to focus on welcoming your new baby. The starting rate is $30 per hour. The final rate may vary based on the number of children, their ages and individual needs, the length of care, and whether overnight care is needed. Birth Sibling Care is separate from Birth Doula Support and is arranged in advance based on the family’s needs and the trainee doula’s availability. The trainee doula may provide: Supervision of older children during labor and birth. Age-appropriate activities and play. Assistance with meals and snacks provided by the family. Comfort and reassurance while parents are away. Assistance with bedtime and nighttime routines, when applicable. General childcare and supervision appropriate to the child’s age and needs.
