Service introduction
I offer virtual prenatals. You can add on a birth attendance if you meet drive time area requirements and as a package upgrade. 2-3 prenatals before birth and 1 postpartum meeting 4-6 weeks after birth. Each meeting last 1.5-2 hours. If you would like me to attend your birth, we discuss a contract and I will arrive at your home or at the hospital around 5 cm dilated. I will only agree to a home birth if you can provide the name and number of the midwife who will also be attending your birth.

Ratings and reviews
Alivia was my doula for my third pregnancy from my second trimester through birth. I had never used a doula before, but I loved my experience. Our first meeting to establish what my goals were for pregnancy and what I needed from her were so helpful to get my focus set on this pregnancy and really set aside time to think and plan. The prenatal meetings were full of great info on ways to have a healthy pregnancy and ways to labor naturally like I wanted. We went over great pregnancy snack ideas and books to read, labor positions and breathing techniques. She was always very responsive when I reached out with questions or updates. When it came time for laboring and birth I'm so glad Alivia was there. Her presence was very calming and reassuring. She coached me through ways to relax and breathe. I honestly grew more confident in having her there, and my whirlwind of a labor needed a little bit of extra confidence and calm. Alivia even went the extra mile by bringing nursing snacks and checking in with me to see how baby and I were doing the next day. Such a considerate and thoughtful person and very good at being an educator and helper.
