In-person birth doula support that's warm, passionate, inclusive, and evidence-based. As your Birth Doula, I will work with you from whatever stage of pregnancy you're at to help you feel excited and prepared. I will hold space for you and your birth plan, and let you take the reins (it's YOUR birth, not mine!) while I support you in the birth space. ​My birth doula support package includes:​​ Initial Consultation: Meet and greet to discuss your preferences, values, and expectations. Virtual or in-person. Two Prenatal Visits: In-depth discussions about your birth plan, comfort measures, and any concerns; basic childbirth education for you and your partner. 24/7 On-Call Support: Available by text or email for any questions or concerns throughout your pregnancy. Continuous Labor Support: Physical and emotional support during labor and birth; assistance with comfort measures, breathing techniques, and relaxation. Postpartum Visit: Debriefing on your birth experience; assistance with breastfeeding, if desired. Postpartum resources and referrals.

Here you are on your own, personal pregnancy journey, full of questions, choices, concerns, and preferences. So why take the large, impersonal birth class at a hospital? You've made the decision to have a hospital birth, or maybe you're exploring your birth options. You deserve a warm, personal, informative course that will prepare you for your hospital birth without judgment, hospital policy biases, or sugar-coating the process. In this 4-hour live virtual course, we will cover: ~Birth statistics in the US ~Your birth plan ~Your expectations for birth ~Reality checks ~How the uterus & cervix work together in labor ~Your labor journey ~Pushing positions ~Birthing the placenta ~Coping with labor ~C-section births ~Promoting labor & inductions ~Newborn procedures ~Comfort measures during labor You will also have access to two beautiful meditations to help you mentally prepare for labor & birth. This course will feel like having a conversation with a sister or a friend. There are no stupid questions, and there are no gross questions. You will learn, we will chat, and you will leave class informed, inspired, and empowered. Live and virtual on Google Meet.
