Packages
Full Doula Services
In-person support for the hospital, birthing center, or home birth. Clients may ask questions in a safe, comfortable, compassionate, and open line of communication. During labor and delivery, some of the ways Malissa is there to support the labor are, working beside birth partners to provide comfort measures, anticipating transitions, when appropriate, helping the family understand the physiology of labor as it progresses, positioning techniques, when it may be time to head to your place of birth, remind clients of their options, and help in deciding when the best time may be to use them. Your care will include 4 weeks of on-call support, 4 private birth preparatory sessions, labor, delivery, and one postpartum visit shortly after delivery. Complimentary extras include portal access to all materials, free resources, and access to a wide range of referral partners in WNY and beyond.
