A Doula is someone that brings emotional and physical support to the pregnant mom and family before, during, and after birth. Touch, counter-pressure, hot and cold therapy, and essential oils are a few of the techniques that are available to you during labor.
My Birth Package offers a complimentary consultation for us to meet and get to know each other and to make sure we are a good fit.
After we sign a contract and a down payment is placed, I will be available to you by phone or text until baby arrives and two weeks postpartum. I will be on-call for your delivery starting at 37 weeks.
We will have two prenatal visits in the comfort of your home. I believe Family-Centered Care is important for your best birth experience and that is why our prenatal visits are so valuable. We will discuss your birth plan and I can aid you in finding evidence-based literature to help you feel secure in your decisions and advocate for yourself. This is our time to discuss your wishes, ideal birth plan, and helps me understand how I can best support you.
Continuous birth support begins with active labor and follows through 1-2 hours after baby is born. Birth support is wherever you have scheduled to deliver your baby with your medical provider – either your home, birth center, or hospital.
One postpartum visit occurs within the first 1-2 weeks after birth. This visit is a time for you to debrief and reflect on your birth experience and request support with feeding, sleep, and comfort techniques. Pre/post-natal visits are usually about 1.5 to 2 hours in length each.
