Service introduction

Hello! As a birth doula, I offer 3-4 prenatals, birth/labor support, and 2 postpartum visits. In the prenatals my goal is to build a level of trust and connection so it'll be a mix of virtual and in person visits. We will dive deep into pregnancy related information and create a birth preference plan, tailored to your desire. Labor and birth support is mandatory with the first hour of immediate postpartum support. The final two postpartum visits are in home, discussing birth, lactation, and newborn care tips. As a postpartum doula, I offer different packages that ranges from first night at home to first 6 weeks of support. Lactation support is always included in the services, unless asked for a separate service.

Packages
Lactation Support(Virtual) 1-2 hours
Here is where we set about 1 week of building your confidence in breastfeeding. We will go over your concerns, and conceptions around breastfeeding in general.

Ke’xia is an exceptional night doula, who provided outstanding care for our newborn baby and made delicious lactation cookies that helped with my milk production. From the very first night, her calming presence and professional demeanor put us at ease. She was incredibly attentive to our baby's needs, ensuring a smooth and restful night for both the baby and us. Her expertise in newborn care was evident, and she shared valuable tips that made a significant difference in our daily routine. I highly recommend her services to any new parent looking for compassionate and knowledgeable support during those critical early days.

My husband and I had a great experience with Ke'xia that set us up for a confident and connected pregnancy, birth, and early parenting experience. We met with several doulas before Ke'xia and were instantly drawn to her calm demeanor and grounded sense of humor. Ke'xia was a perfect fit for our birth team and really served as a great guide for these two first time parents. Ke'xia really helped my husband and I prioritize and prepare for having our baby. She helped us work through our birth plan and decide how important it was to us to be able to connect and be present. Our family lives three hours+ away by plane, and it was fantastic to have someone there who'd "done it before". My husband is a planner by nature and wasn't sure how he'd do with a situation that felt so out of his control. Ke'xia's flexibility helped us to stay calm throughout a long labor. In addition to the great birth experience, Ke'xia was also a fantastic resource for questions post-partum and during pregnancy. If/when I have a second baby I will absolutely seek out Ke'xia's services again.
