Services

Free Consultation 

We will start with an initial telephone inquiry. From there, if we are both comfortable, we will schedule our first meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to have some one on one time and decide that if are a good match.

Phone & Email Support 

Once we decide that we are a good match, I will make myself totally available to answer all questions and concerns preferring text and email up until the later part of the pregnancy. I will be open to all phone calls during the last 5 weeks of labor and up until our final post-partum visit.

2 Prenatal Visits 

Both prenatal visits will be used to discuss developing a birth plan, visualization exercises, practicing breathing exercises and developing strategies for coping with labor pains. We will also discuss how we will handle any natural birth rights that you would like to enforce.

During labor 

As your birth doula, I will provide continuous emotional, physical, and mental support for you throughout the labor. I offer energetic inspiration and motivation as well as physical methods of dealing with labor pains.

Baby’s first feeding Support 

If necessary, I give pointers and tips on the first breast feeding of the baby.

Postpartum follow-up visit 

At the postpartum visit will recall the birthing experience for you. I will share the birth story I have written up for you. We will discuss the after effects of the labor and I will provide resources that can assist you through the remainder of your journey through motherhood.

Baby's Grasp
As a Doula, I  Do Not:

Perform any clinical tasks

Clinical task such as blood pressure, fetal heart checks, vaginal exams, etc. are not part of the duties of a doula.

Make decisions for you 

I will help you make educated decisions by providing resources to help guide you in deciding what is best for you, your partner and the baby. I will also remind you of the birth plan. I cannot make any decisions for you. I can only provide information.

Speak to the staff on your behalf

I can only speak with you directly and advise you and your partner. You and your partner must speak to the staff and make final decisions for yourself.

Project any of my own beliefs onto your experience

It is important that as a birth doula I remain open minded to what you foresee in your birth experience.
