Service introduction

My birth doula services are unique and individualized to every client. Not every client is going to have the same need as the next and my heart is a servant heart and therefore I accommodate everyone and their specific needs. My heart truly believes that I will be guided to serve the clients that need me in whatever capacity that may be. ON CALL: the moment we sign a contract I am on call via phone, text and email for my clients. I want you to have a constant resource during your journey. PRENATAL: I do not have a limit on prenatal visits, most doulas do. There is no way that I could possibly learn all about you, your wishes, your past pregnancy’s, any birth trauma, educate you and/or make a birth preference list with you, in 1-2 visits. I would be doing a disservice to you as a client and to myself as a provider. Every client has different needs and I am here to accommodate those. During our prenatal visits we address multiple things based on the individualized care my clients need. All resources are evidenced based, not just because they worked for someone else. Prenatal visits are a key component to excellent care, building a rapport, learning roles and bonding as a team. LABOR: Once again, I have no time limits on continuous birth support, some doulas do. From the moment you say, “I need you.” I am there. I am there throughout labor and delivery. I stay up to four hours after delivery (dependent on location protocols and if I’m encapsulating your placenta). I strive on being fully present, physically, emotionally and energetically, to provide the best services possible. POSTPARTUM: You get one postpartum visit with the birth doula package. Everyone has difference needs and for those that need more support, it evens out for those that don’t need as much. Just know that if you need me, I’m there! My clients are in control of postpartum visits and their needs/wants for them. How our relationship evolves after the initial postpartum period is all dependent on my clients as well. Some I never hear from again, some I notice they continue to like all our social posts, some I still receive pictures yearly, some I have grown closer to, and some have become family.
