Packages
Basic Birth Doula Package (Lower Tier)
Basic Birth & Postpartum Support Package This package offers essential, well-rounded support for families who want a steady, reassuring presence throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. It is designed to provide foundational guidance, hands-on care during labour, and initial support as you begin your recovery and feeding journey. What’s Included Two Prenatal Meetings (90 Minutes Each) You will receive two in-depth prenatal sessions to prepare for your birth and early postpartum experience. These meetings are an opportunity to build connection and trust while exploring your preferences, values, and any questions you may have.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs, helping you feel informed, supported, and confident as your due date approaches. Continuous Birth Support (Labour and Delivery) You will have continuous, in-person support throughout your labour and delivery. From active labour through the birth of your baby, you will be supported with comfort techniques, positioning guidance, emotional reassurance, and advocacy support as needed. This consistent presence helps create a calm, grounded environment and ensures you are not navigating the experience alone. Support is focused on helping you feel safe, informed, and empowered, regardless of how your birth unfolds. One Postpartum Home Visit (2 Hours) After your baby arrives, one in-home postpartum visit is included to support your recovery and adjustment. During this visit, you will receive hands-on guidance with newborn care, as well as a breastfeeding check to assess feeding, comfort, and any early concerns. This visit also provides space to process your birth experience, ask questions, and receive practical and emotional support as you begin settling into life with your baby. One Virtual Lactation Follow-Up A virtual follow-up session is included to provide continued lactation support after your initial postpartum visit. This session allows us to check in on your progress, address any concerns, and offer guidance as feeding patterns evolve. Virtual support offers flexibility while ensuring you continue to feel supported and confident in your feeding journey.

Comprehensive Birth Doula Package (High End)
Enhanced Birth & Postpartum Support Package This package builds upon the Standard level of care by offering additional education, hands-on support, and extended guidance during both the early postpartum period and your feeding journey.

This session is tailored to your preferences and provides a strong foundation before your baby arrives. Three Postpartum Visits (Days 1, 3, and 7) Structured postpartum visits are scheduled during the first week after birth to provide timely, hands-on support when it matters most. These visits are thoughtfully spaced to align with common transitions in recovery and newborn adjustment. During each visit, support may include newborn care guidance, feeding assistance, emotional support, and light household help. This consistent presence ensures you feel supported as your confidence grows. Overnight or Late-Night Support Block One extended overnight or late-night support session is included to help you rest and recover. During this time, care may include soothing and tending to your baby, assisting with feeds, and maintaining a calm environment so you can get restorative sleep. This support can be especially valuable in the early days when sleep is limited and recovery is ongoing. Additional Lactation Follow-Ups (Up to 3 Sessions) In addition to initial feeding support, this package includes up to three follow-up lactation sessions. These sessions provide continued guidance as your baby grows and feeding patterns evolve. They allow for ongoing assessment, adjustments to positioning or latch, and support through any challenges that may arise, helping you stay aligned with your feeding goals. Who This Package Is For This package is ideal for families who want more than foundational support and value both education and continued guidance in the early postpartum period.
