Service introduction

How I Support You Evidence-Based Preparation I provide clear, research-based information on prenatal wellness, including nutrition, movement, and relaxation. We will walk through birth terminology and common interventions together, so you feel mentally and emotionally prepared to make informed decisions with confidence and less anxiety. Personalized Birth Planning Your voice matters. I offer a safe space to discuss your desires, address any fears, and explore your options. Together, we will develop a birth plan that reflects your expectations, ensuring you feel heard and respected throughout your journey. Logistical & Home Readiness We will discuss early comfort measures and coordinate when to transition to your hospital or birth center. I also help you evaluate your home setup and plan for your immediate postnatal recovery, ensuring you have a smooth transition back into your space. Comfort & Labor Support During labor, I suggest gentle ways to ease intensity and stress. Whether through specialized breathing techniques, massage, or finding the most supportive positions, my goal is to help you manage the physical and emotional demands of birth. Advocacy & Information I serve as a bridge of information, helping to explain procedures or actions during and after labor. I am there to support your birth plan and ensure you understand every step of the process as it unfolds.

I have worked with Kirsten multiple times over my 18 years of being a mom and birthing 4 kids. She has always been incredibly helpful, resourceful and kind to me and my family. She truly goes above and beyond and has been a God send. She is extremely knowledgeable and flexible, answering all of my questions, calming my nerves and being a huge support. Highly recommended Kirsten!!!

Frequently asked questions

Do you take other insurance?

I do not personally bill insurance. I am happy to provide a super bill and do have an NPI number. Many of my clients have received a partial or full reimbursement from their insurance and/or FSA/HSA; if their insurance covers doulas.

Are you prenatals in person or virtual?

I offer one in-person and one virtual visit. I am happy to work with families/individuals regarding their personal needs. If traveling outside of 25-mile service area there is a service fee for in-person visits.

Do you accept Medicaid clients?

I can not personally bill Medicaid but I do work with an organization that does and I am happy to share that information with a client. We are able to refer a client and share that the client wishes to work with us, so once they are setup for doula care, we are 'matched'.

How many prenatals are included?

Two prenatal visits are included in my package; where a variety of topics are covered. I believe in building these visits around the specific needs of my clients.

What is a postnatal visit? How many do you offer in your package?

A postnatal visit is an in-person visit at your home, where a doula does a full assessment of the well-being of the baby and the birth giver/partner; as well as answer any questions regarding care and setup of the home. I offer one postnatal visit in person and 3 months of check-ins via text or email for further questions.
