Hi everyone! I'm Meghan. Since 2014 I have had the honor of serving many San Diego families as a birth and postpartum doula. I have extensive experience in home birth, birth center, and hospital settings. I have also built an incredible network of amazing San Diego resources and care providers to ensure that you have a holistically supported pregnancy and postpartum season. My practice is family centered and evidence based. My goal is to make sure that you have the information and resources to make informed decisions. I believe that birth is a transformative rite of passage and that the experience can be calm, peaceful, and empowered. I look forward to talking with you about your birth :)
24/7 support via phone and email upon hiring 2 prenatal meetings personalized to you in preparation for the birth On call from 37-42 weeks to support you during labor and immediately after your birth 1 postpartum visit following the birth Continued virtual support for the first 3 months postpartum
1-2 in-home prenatal meetings to teach your partner hands-on comfort techniques, and create a birth plan. This can also be helpful in preparing for a planned cesarean. 1 in-home prenatal session focused on preparing for newborn care and postpartum healing. 1 in-home postpartum wellness visit. Included: birth story sharing time and hands on breastfeeding support. Ability to message doula throughout pregnancy and 6 weeks postpartum to get expert answers for your current questions.
This service includes pickup of your placenta from your birth location, preparation of your placenta in your preferred method, and delivery of your prepared placenta products back to you as soon as they are ready. Also included is counseling prior to encapsulation to help you select the most supportive options for you. Detailed instructions for intake and virtual support following encapsulation should questions arise.
As your doula, I will be there to support you during your pregnancy and provide you with encouragement and information. Prior to the birth we will meet and get to know eachother better and you can fill me in on your birth preferences and goals. These visits will help me learn how I can best support and nurture you during your birth. When your labor begins I will be there to provide you and your partner with informational, physical and emotional support. I will remain with you after your baby is born to assist with breastfeeding and make sure that you have something to eat and are settling in with your precious new baby. I will also come to visit you once you are home to see how you are adjusting as a new family and provide any resources or referrals as needed. I am also available to provide counseling and in person support during the postpartum season.
My births would not have been so amazing if Meghan was not my doula. She seemed to know what I needed before I asked, and seemed to say exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. Knowing she was there helped me get through each surge until I welcomed my babies into my arms.
