Doula Services
Birth Support Tailored To You....
Birth is one of the most transformative experiences in life. Doula care in your journey through pregnancy, birth and postpartum can make a huge difference. My ultimate goal is to offer wholehearted, compassionate support from the moment we decide to work together. I will offer resources and provide information during your pregnancy. I will be a sounding board for you and provide emotional support whenever you need it. I will help you figure out your birth preferences and guide you through your options. I will help you feel confident and empowered. I will be there for you during labor. I will be there for you when your baby is born.
Pregnancy, birth, postpartum… it can all be be overwhelming but I will be there every step of the way helping you navigate it all.
My two birth packages (in-person or virtual) can easily be tweaked and tailored to you and I am always up for a no-strings-attached conversation.
I will soon be launching a Birth Planning Session Package if you need some help understanding your options, defining your preferences and bringing it all together in a birth plan. Stay tuned!
The Birth Warrior Package
An honest conversation where we get to know each other. We can talk about your fears, hopes, expectations, goals and anything else that may be on your mind. This is a time to answer any questions that you may have and lay out a plan for the next two prenatal visits. This chat can be virtual or in-person.
Two prenatal visits can include:
Discussing your options, preferences and expectations
Assistance with creating a birth plan
Discussing labor comfort measures, breathing techniques, labor positions and other preparations for birth
I will provide evidence-based information throughout pregnancy, labor/birth and immediate postpartum. Doulas support all births. Medicated, unmedicated & cesarean births! As your doula, I can provide evidence-based information education about all types of birth.
From signing the contract until your postpartum visit, I will be available to you 24/7 through messaging or email for emotional and informational support.
I will join you during labor at home/your place of choice and provide emotional, informational and physical support. I will be on-call for your labor from week 37.
I will visit you at home within two weeks of giving birth. During the postpartum visit, we can talk through your birth experience and discuss any questions or concerns that you have. I will also provide a consultation on breastfeeding and lactation support and address any breastfeeding questions or challenges that you may have.

What Is A Doula?
The word “Doula” comes from Ancient Greek and means “a woman who serves”. It is used to describe a woman who supports and assists a woman during labor and birth.
A doula is a non-medical person trained in childbirth who provides emotional, physical and informational support to women during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum.
Evidence shows that doula support greatly improves a person’s satisfaction with the birth experience and improves birth outcomes.
A doula can make a big difference in your childbirth experience and help you feel more confident, more supported, more heard and more prepared for your journey though pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Everyone deserves compassionate support!
