Birth doulas provide emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. I help my clients understand and navigate the childbirth process, advocate for their preferences, provide continuous support, utilize comfort measures and techniques, and assist with communication with medical staff. My goal is to equip and empower you to have the birth you want. My support includes: - A free consultation to get to know each other and see if we are the right fit - Text support from contract signing - One prenatal where we create your birth plan and discuss comfort measures - Virtual support throughout early labor - In-person support from active labor until 1-2 hours post delivery - One postpartum visit / lactation consult

Postpartum doula support offers practical physical and emotional support to new parents. My goal is to help promote a smooth transition to parenthood by helping parents adjust to their new roles, by providing guidance and reassurance. My duties include: - Light housekeeping such as laundry, dishes, bottle/pump part washing, organizing nursery - Light meal/snack preparation - Newborn care throughout the night to ensure parents get maximum rest - Breastfeeding/lactation assessment and support - Physical and emotional support for a quicker postpartum recovery

Whether you're planning to give birth in a hospital, birth center or at home, having a birth plan is an excellent way to help feel prepared and to communicate with your birth team and providers what your desires are for labor, delivery and the immediate postpartum for you and your baby. If you aren't sure where to begin, I'll help you discover what your ideal birth looks like and provide helpful insight into the many decisions you'll be faced with surrounding your birth.
