While pregnancy appears to be a glowing celebratory experience on the outside, on the inside it can feel lonely or even overwhelming at times. Imagine if you had someone well versed in the hormonal and lifestyle changes that occur, that can walk beside you as you navigate new sensations, emotions, and more. With Prenatal Virtual Support, we work together to address any anxieties or fears you may have during the prenatal period all while making a plan to move forward in a meaningful and productive way. This support includes 24/7 access to my support and knowledge as a doula for half of a decade, where I am available via text or call to answer any questions, concerns, or just lend an ear. This style of support helps: : ̗̀➛ Understand the birthing process : ̗̀➛ Reduce anxieties and fear around birth : ̗̀➛ Reduce likelihood of Postpartum Depression : ̗̀➛ Boost bodily autonomy and decision making

In short, a doula is like a tour guide for the entirety of the perinatal period. What that means is we come equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to help you during your journey, all while providing evidence based resources and connections for care. Doulas come with many benefits such as: : ̗̀➛ Shorter labors : ̗̀➛ Higher likelihood to initiate and continue breast or chestfeeding : ̗̀➛ Lower occurrences of preterm birth or low birth weight : ̗̀➛ Decreased risk of Postpartum Depression : ̗̀➛ And more! Doula support has three to four essential pillars for our care, these pillars being Emotional Support, Informational or Educational Support, Physical Support, and Advocacy. While my job as your doula is not to tell you what is right or wrong, or to speak over/for you - my job IS to empower you to make the most educated and confident decisions possible for you and your growing family. If unheard, I will echo your concerns and choices as needed to ensure the power remains in your hands at all times. This package includes: : ̗̀➛ 2 Prenatal Meetings to discuss goals, create a birth plan, and build a relationship : ̗̀➛ 24/7 Access to Me for any questions or concerns that may arise : ̗̀➛ On call support at 38-42 weeks from myself and a trusted backup doula as needed : ̗̀➛ In person Support during active labor, birth, and up to 2 hours Postpartum : ̗̀➛ 1 Postpartum Follow Up Visit to help with housework, adjustment, and navigation of the Fourth Trimester

Congratulations on your little one(s)! Now what? As a 5 year certified Postpartum Doula, I will walk side by side with you as you navigate the Fourth Trimester. This can be a time of uncertainty for some, or a time of conflicting emotions as the joys of parenthood swirl around with new fears, thoughts, and responsibilities. During this time it is important to prioritize yourself and your needs along with those of your newest family member(s). Having postpartum support is beneficial for a number of reasons, especially from a seasoned professional. Where you have questions, conflicting information, outside opinions, and a whole new workload - I have guidance, warmth, and unbiased care. I meet you exactly where you are to build a relationship on trust and safety, while providing evidence based recommendations, referrals as appropriate, and emotional support as needed. This support gives you 24/7 access to me, my years of experience, and compassionate care to address your wellbeing and concerns as the need arises. This support is available from birth to the 6 month mark typically, but can be flexible for the needs of you and your family.
