Service introduction

My support begins with a no-obligation meet up, either in-person or via Zoom, to discuss your birth preferences and what my support might look like. My services include 1 or 2 prenatal visits, 1 or 2 postpartum visits, (depending on client need) and accompanying you for the duration of your birth and the immediate “Golden Hour” afterwards. I do record a timeline of your birth, take photos as I’m able, and use aromatherapy in agreement with your wishes. I also provide placenta encapsulation services for my birth doula clients for an additional fee.
