Service introduction

I would like to meet you as early into your pregnancy as possible- preferably no later than 36 weeks- and have a chance to get to know you and your partner. This also gives you a chance to get to know me! You can decide from there if you would like me on your team. If so, we can meet again to discuss more in depth the level of care you are interested in, your birth plan, location, at what point in your labor I will accompany you, and other specifics. Once I am at your side I'm there to stay, you will have my undivided support and attention throughout labor & delivery and immediate postpartum. After your birth expect a nourishing home cooked meal within your first few days, and I'll follow up with you over the next month into your postpartum recovery.

Packages
Birth Doula Package
This is a general outline of what my client care has looked like in the past: 2 prenatal visits; an introduction, and a follow up to review specifics of care. Nonstop labor support beginning at active phase, unless you need/want me with you earlier! Support in the immediate post-partum phase to help you transition into your 'golden hour'. Two post-partum home visits, including a home cooked meal to nourish your body, and the opportunity to review your birth experience and discuss any questions or concerns you may have or any resources you may need to further support you at that time. I am in the process of becoming certified to accept medicaid. Scholarshipping and discounts may be applied on an individual bases

Placenta Encapsulation
The process of preparing and drying the placenta tissue must begin within 24 hours post birth. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE IMMEDIATE CARE AND REFRIDGERATION OF YOUR PLACENTA. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE IMPROPERLY HANDLED PLACENTAS. This procedure includes washing, steaming, and dehydrating the placenta. After that the tissue is ground up, encapsulated and packaged for personal use. Please allow one week for the end product. Quantity of capsules varies. This service is valued at $150.00

Meal Preparation
The importance of adequate nutrition for you and your family cannot be understated as you transition into parenthood be it the first time or the fifth time! I strive to use locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, for that reason options may be subject to change seasonally or based on availability. Sweet treats, kid friendly, dietary restrictions, and organic options are of course available upon request! Pricing will vary due to family size and market price.
