Service introduction

As a full-spectrum doula, I offer support through every stage of the journey—from pregnancy to birth, and into postpartum. Before birth, I assist with doctor appointments, emotional support, birth plan preparation, and connecting you with additional resources like childbirth or parenting classes. During labor, I provide patient advocacy, comfort measures, ongoing support, and a follow-up visit after birth. Postpartum services include newborn care guidance, household support, night nanny care, and emotional check-ins. I also offer virtual doula support, which includes pregnancy messaging, phone calls, virtual birth prep, labor support, and postpartum follow-ups for those who prefer or require remote care.
