Birth Support

As your birth doula, I offer individualized, non-medical support to you and your partner as you prepare to meet your new baby. I am here to help you sort through your feelings, options, and intentions surrounding the upcoming birth of your child. I will reflect these intentions back to you throughout pregnancy, labor/birth, and the postpartum period; and, I will remain responsive and without judgment as these intentions and preferences may shift and change. I accompany you in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birthing experience. I draw on my knowledge, experience, and passion to provide emotional support, physical comfort, and informational support as needed. I will help ensure that you have the information that you need to make informed decisions as they arise in labor. Your sense of physical and emotional safety is my highest priority. I provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, positioning and other techniques for comfort. Most importantly, I am in it with you until you are through. Birth Package Includes: - phone/text/email support and your questions answered throughout your pregnancy - 3 prenatal meetings where we will get to know each other, create intentions for your birth (birth plan), practice comfort techniques, discuss what you may expect on the day, and prepare for postpartum and newborn care - on-call 24/7 for your birth from your 38th week of pregnancy onwards - I am accessible by phone, in-town, and ready to “go” when you need me - in - person support at your birth until baby arrives (virtual services also available as desired) - postpartum check-in during baby's first week home - we can assess feeding, talk about how you’re doing and the birth if you want, and get you any referrals you may need for other services - additional private Newborn Sleep Foundations session available if desired, prenatally or postpartum Birth Package: $2000, payable in two installments of 50%
