Your Birth, Your Way!
I want to support you in having your dream birth! Whether you plan to deliver in your home, at the hospital or a birthing center I will provide you with the customized care you deserve. The journey into mother hood is scary sometimes and as your doula I will be there to provide you comfort, ease your anxiety, hold your hand, and be your advocate when necessary. The prep before birth is just as important as labor. Knowledge is power! By being informed you will feel empowered and have the confidence to make the best decisions for YOUR journey.
There is so much to see here, take your time and explore my page. Please scroll through my general information on everything I have listed. I hope you enjoy my site and consider me to be a part of your birth team! (:

General Birth Service Support
Prenatal Visits
Prenatal appointments are done in the comfort of your home and they will last 1 - 2 hours. Depending how far along you are in your pregnancy upon booking will determine the number of appointments, 2 being the minimum, 4 being the max. I like to establish a relationship with my clients so even if you book me at 15 weeks, you wont have to wait months before seeing me.
Every visit we will go over a number of things including your birth plan & preferences, comfort measures, possible interventions, support people, movement while pregnant, diet & herbs, breastfeeding & lactation education, postpartum planning, etc. Partners attendance is welcomed and encouraged!!
I will answer all questions unbiased and provide you with evidence based information, we will discuss your fears, goals and everything in between.
You will have access to my lending library of books and I will also assist you in finding an OB or midwife for your birth team if needed.
You will have unlimited phone and text support upon booking.
Labor Support
I will be on call for you starting at 37 weeks. Depending on your place of birth I will either get there when you need me or I will come assist you during early labor until we decide its time to go to the place of birth.
I provide physical, emotional, spiritual and mental support throughout labor. Staying 2 - 3 hours with you immediately postpartum until you and the family are settled in and comfortable. This includes lactation support.
Postpartum Visit
This visit is in the comfort of your home 1-10 days postpartum and will be 1-2 hours long. We will sit together and discuss how you are recovering physically and mentally! Make sure that your transition is going well and I will provide you with any resources you may need regarding extended postpartum care, meal service, lactation counseling. Answer any questions you and/or your partner may have.
I provide traditional postpartum care including a healing herbal bath, a warm meal and light housekeeping before I go.
Postpartum is for life! I will always be a phone call away and will continue to check on you through the months!
Placenta Encapsulation
All doula clients will get a $25 discount on placenta services. Since I will be at your birth you wont need to worry about the proper after care for storage, I will handle that! Your placenta will leave with me and then I will bring your capsules and other products to the postpartum home visit.
Birth Photos & Videos
I am not a professional birth photographer but I have an iPhone and I know the good angles! If you consent to photos I would love to capture some memories for you throughout labor, or if you have a camera/phone you would like me to use, I will. All photos/videos would get sent to you afterward and will be deleted off my device unless stated otherwise with your consent to be used for content.
Deposit &Payment Plans
A deposit of $400 is required at the time of booking. This along with the contract solidifies your spot on my calendar and my availability. The deposit does go towards the total price of the package.
I do offer weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payment plans. This will depend on the time of your booking. Due to the spontaneous nature of birth, full payment MUST be completed by 37 weeks gestation.
