BIRTH DOULA PACKAGE

ONE CONSULTATION

This is totally free and no obligation. We will meet in your 

home or at a coffee shop and talk about why you 

want a doula, who I am, and my experience in childbirth

and doula work. Maybe this is you and your partners 

first baby and you feel a little un-prepared? Maybe you 

want this birth to look different than the first time? We 

can talk over all these things.

TWO PRENATAL VISITS

From the time of hire I am available to you 24-7 by phone or e-mail to answer any questions that come up. During our 1st prenatal visit we talk more about what you want your birth to look like. I can help you write a birth plan and we spend some time covering childbirth education. During our 2nd visit, I like to have anyone who will be present at the birth (grandma, dad, partner) to go over some helpful labor positions, massage techniques and other comfort measures. I don't want to take the place of your other support people, I want to get them involved as much as possible. 

CONTINUOUS SUPPORT

I am available to you 2 weeks before and after your due date. In the event that the birth takes place outside of this time, I will do everything possible to be there or I do have back-ups I work with. I will meet you at your home and help with early labor support all the way through helping with the baby's first latch on. I will be with you the whole time offering comfort, guidance and a calming presence. 

POSTPARTUM VISIT AND BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT

At this visit we get to talk over your feelings about the birth. I will also have detailed birth notes I can share with you. And I can offer any advice or referrals for the post-partum time. I am also very experienced in lactation support.
