Birth doula care (38-42+ weeks) I offer two pre-birth visits, one postpartum support visit, and birth doula support starting at 38 weeks. The pre-birth visits are for getting to know one another, for exploring your birth options, for preparing a birth plan, and for engaging in individualized childbirth education. Starting at 38 weeks, I will be on call for your birth. I only take on one or two clients a month, all but guaranteeing that I will be able to accompany you during your birth. When your labor is underway and you feel ready for me to join, I can come to your home or I can meet you at the hospital. I will then support you in navigating your labor, coping with contractions, making informed decisions about your care, and advocating for yourself. If your partner or a family friend is also attending your birth, I can help them help you, getting them involved in hip-squeezes, back rubs, and other labor support methods. Two to three days after the birth, I offer one postpartum support visit to help establish breastfeeding (if applicable) and to debrief your birth.

My postpartum doula care is very individualized since every family has very specific needs. It may include any of the services listed below.
