Service introduction

I offer birth and postpartum doula services in the Houston area. I incorporate Reflexology and Reiki into my maternity and postpartum care packages. At this time I am taking birth and postpartum clients and offering my fertility consultation remotely.

Packages
Holistic Fertility Consultation
During the initial consultation we will meet in your home or over video conference to discuss your health and fertility history, how to understand your body and chart your cycles, and beneficial nutritional and lifestyle modifications you can make based on your individual needs. After the initial consultation, we will meet again monthly for 3 months to discuss your cycle charts and any changes you’ve experienced since our last visit. This service can be combined with a Reflexology or Reiki session as well. The first visit is 2 hours and the monthly follow-up visits are 1 hour.

Birth Plan Consultation
Pregnancy can be an overwhelming time as there are so many questions and unknowns. Should you consider a hospital birth, birth center or home birth? What about a water birth? Which doctor or midwife will be the best fit for the kind of birth you want? Do you want to try to have an unmedicated birth? What are the pros and cons of an epidural? In this consultation we will go over all of the options and talk about the kind of birth experience you would like to have. I want you to be empowered with the knowledge and resources you need to make informed decisions. We will also put together a detailed plan with your birth preferences and practice some comfort measures. If you decide you would like additional support during labor and postpartum, your fee will be applied to the birth package of your choice. This consultation can be done remotely. 2 hours

Holistic Birth Support Package
The Holistic Birth Package is designed to support you throughout your pregnancy. As a Holistic Reproductive Practitioner, I believe that prenatal education, body work and energy healing are all very important components of a healthy pregnancy and birth experience. The Holistic Birth Package Includes: 2 Prenatal visits in your home to establish your birth plan, postpartum healing plan and breastfeeding education. 5 Reflexology or Reiki sessions 2 Postpartum visits Being on call from 37 weeks until birth Email and phone access between visits Continuous labor support A postpartum self-care kit A dozen lactation cookies and 32 ounces of homemade bone broth, soup or Ayurvedic dish at your postpartum visits We will complete the Reflexology or Reiki sessions at both prenatal appointments, an additional session between 37-40 weeks for labor preparation, during labor when appropriate, and at both postpartum visits. Reflexology can help with pregnancy related discomforts such as swelling, nausea, insomnia, aches and pains and constipation. It can also gently prepare the body for labor, help balance hormones, support the liver and kidneys and reduce stress. Reiki is very helpful for stress relief and clearing fear and anxiety around pregnancy and birth. Arrangements for a backup doula will be made in the case of an emergency or illness that would prevent me from attending your birth. Each prenatal visit is 2.5-3 hours including the Reflexology or Reiki sessions. Postpartum visits are 1.5-2 hours.
