About me

I love my job! Supporting parents through labor, birth and postpartum is amazing, and rewarding, and what I feel called to do. I am a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a childbirth educator and a lactation educator. Having an understanding of your options is a big part of preventing birth trauma. Educating parents about how they can better navigate their labor and the medical system is a big part of what I do. I support folks emotionally, physically, with information/resources, and with advocacy (and photo documentation of their labor). We usually have some fun too!

Service introduction

My basic birth doula service includes 2 prenatal visits, labor & birth support, and 2 postpartum visits. This is $2100-2400, dependent upon location. Childbirth classes and lactation classes are private and tailored to your needs, and schedule. Childbirth Ed classes are usually 3-4 hours and standard fee is $300 (with a $50 discount for birth clients) Postpartum support is a minimum of four hours, and the cost is dependent upon location and whether daytime or overnight. Fees range from $45-65/hr.
