I offer a comprehensive range of birth doula services designed to support you throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. From personalized birth planning sessions to continuous emotional and physical support during labor, I am committed to empowering you to have the birth experience you desire. My services include prenatal consultations, assistance with creating a birth plan tailored to your preferences, continuous labor support both at home and in the hospital, advocacy for your birth preferences, comfort measures such as massage and breathing techniques, and postpartum follow-up care to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood. With a focus on holistic and natural approaches, I aim to provide compassionate care that honors your individual needs and wishes every step of the way.
Hiring a birth doula was a game-changer for us. Learning comfort measures to support my wife was invaluable when contractions started. At the hospital, I saw the unique benefits of having the nurses and a doula. They offered different kinds of help, but both were crucial. Takeda, our doula, was acted as a bodyguard to secure the placenta. Highly recommend this support for any couple.
