About Kendra
Hi, I'm Kendra — a full-spectrum doula, placenta encapsulation specialist, and herbalist based in Middletown, Delaware. I founded Sacred Circle Birthwork + Apothecary because I believe birth deserves to be held with reverence, honesty, and real, practical support — and because every family, in every body, deserves to feel safe, heard, and celebrated through it. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester: birth doula care, postpartum support (including overnight care), birth and postpartum planning, comfort measures classes, lactation and feeding support, and placenta encapsulation. I'm also a PAIL advocate, supporting families through pregnancy and infant loss with tenderness and without judgment. What makes my practice different is the apothecary: I handcraft small-batch herbal tinctures, teas, syrups, and salves for pregnancy, postpartum, and everyday wellness — so the care doesn't stop when I leave the room. I serve families across Delaware within about 50 miles of Middletown — Middletown, Odessa, Townsend, Smyrna, Dover, Bear, Newark, and Wilmington. I'm a Black-owned, women-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly practice, and all families are welcome in the Circle. I'd love to meet you — reach out for a free consultation call and let's talk about the birth and postpartum you want. MHA, CD, CPE · Licensed & Insured · Student Registered Herbalist
Birth & Postpartum Doula packages and pricing
Birth Doula Package
Your birth experience deserves steady support, compassionate guidance, and a presence that honors your strength.

We prepare together in your prenatal visits, then I join you in labor with hands-on comfort, advocacy, and continuous support until your baby arrives. Includes: 2–3 prenatal visits, birth preferences planning, comfort measures + partner coaching, unlimited text/phone support, on-call from 38 weeks, continuous labor support at home, hospital, or birth center, hands-on comfort (counterpressure, massage, positioning, breathwork), advocacy with your care team, 1–2 hours immediate postpartum support, one postpartum home visit. Payment plans available.

Includes: everything in the Birth Doula Package, placenta pick-up, Traditional Method preparation, capsules, delivery. Optional add-ons: placenta tincture, placenta print, cord keepsake.

Postpartum Doula Support Package — from $350
The fourth trimester is tender and transformative — your body is healing, your baby is adjusting to life earthside, and your family is finding a new rhythm. Warm, grounding, truly present support in your home: emotional care, practical help, newborn guidance, and rest. Includes: 10, 20, or 40-hour options (10 hrs from $350, 20 hrs from $650, 40 hrs from $1,200), daytime support with a 4-hour minimum per visit, emotional support + birth processing, feeding support, newborn care guidance, light household support, meal prep + nourishment support, rest support, resource referrals. Payment plans available.
Overnight Postpartum Support
The nights in the fourth trimester can feel long and overwhelming — especially when you're healing and running on very little sleep. Overnight care gives you the gift of rest while your baby receives loving, attentive care through the night, so you wake up rested, supported, and more grounded. Includes: 8-hour overnight support (typically 10pm–6am or 11pm–7am), newborn care throughout the night, feeding support, diapering, soothing + settling, sleep environment support, pumping + bottle-feeding assistance, light overnight tidying, morning update + gentle handoff. Multi-night packages available.
Placenta Encapsulation
Your placenta is the first home your baby ever knew. Encapsulation honors that connection by transforming it into gentle capsules that support your postpartum healing. Using the Traditional Method, your placenta is carefully steamed, dehydrated, and ground into capsules with intention, safety, and respect. Includes: placenta pick-up within the service area · Traditional Method preparation in a sanitized, safe, certified workspace · capsules in a beautifully packaged jar · delivery to your home · postpartum wellness check-in. Optional add-ons: tincture, print, cord keepsake.
