My Services Include:

On Call Support
As soon as we sign our contract, I begin my service as your doula. You can call, email, and text me to answer questions and receive a timely response. Beginning two weeks before your due date, I am available to you 24/7 until your baby’s birth.

Prenatal Research Assistance
As your pregnancy progresses, the challenge of sifting through the many voices and choices is easier with an experienced companion. I can help you address any questions you have, and help you discover what is most important to you about your baby and your body throughout your perinatal period. This facilitates effective communication and dialogue with your care provider, bringing you a more peaceful birth experience.

Prenatal Visits
We will meet in your home twice before your birth. We use our time connecting and refining how I can best support you. We talk about your concerns and actively prepare to utilize the tools I have honed to become your doula. We will create a customized plan based on your preferences to help you feel confident and prepared for birth and your postpartum period.

Labor Support

I am your trained labor specialist. I will join you during your labor, potentially in your home, and stay with you continuously throughout your baby’s birth. Other members of your birth team may be strangers, or change throughout shifts and schedules. As your doula, it’s my privilege to stay with you every step of the way, if we spend 6 hours together or 26.

emotional support - reassurance, understanding, perspective, calming, and confidence
physical support - training and experience to help labor progress through movement, relaxation, comforting touch, and other techniques.
informational support - decoding jargon, elevating your voice, facilitating communication and collaboration with your care team, assuring you have the time and information you need to make informed decisions in the moment.

During your labor I provide:

Postpartum Visit
I will meet with you after your delivery to help you process and reflect on your birth and adjust to life with a new baby. I can help with feeding and sleeping, or discuss referrals for further care and support.

Also included:

  • Non-professional birth photography - while prioritizing labor support, I will capture important moments when possible

  • Trained use of TENS unit for pain management

  • Spinning Babies - I have attended a Spinning Babies workshop, a program designed to understand and support the ideal physiology for birth
