Service introduction

One interview: online or in-person Two to three prenatal visits. Each visit usually lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. Will cover various topics such as your goals, birth, preferences, fetal rotation, available options, your concerns, comfort measures, and any other questions you might have. Plus it’s a great chance for us to get to know each other. Unlimited contact to reach out via text, call, zoom, emails, or video call anytime – – whether it’s before, or after your babies arrival – – for any questions or concerns you may have. Available and on-call whenever you need extra labor support, day or night. Keep in mind that once you’ve asked me to join, it usually takes an hour or more for me to get there. I remain with you 1-2 hours after birth, until you are comfortable, breastfeeding, or your family is ready for quiet time together. After the birth, you’ll receive a once a week for five weeks postpartum check in and in those first five weeks I will meet with you and your birth companion to deliver your birth notes, and a special keepsake, delivered right to your door. As a doula, I do not perform clinical tasks such as blood pressure checks, fetal heart monitoring, or vaginal exams. My role is focused on providing physical comfort, emotional support, and advocacy to help create your ideal birthing experience. I do not make decisions on your behalf. Instead, I assist you in gathering necessary information to make informed choices and will gently remind you if there are deviations from your birth preferences. While I do not directly communicate decisions to the staff, I serve as your advocate for your birth preferences. I will discuss any concerns with you, offer suggestions, and you or your birth companion will convey your decisions to the birthing team.
