Welcome! Below, I have listed my services and details of my care practices
Birth Doula Package
During Labor, I offer continuous physical and emotional support to help you navigate the stages of labor, bringing you peaceful reassurance and tools to ease pain, sink-in and trust your body's immaculate design to birth.
- Support in home, birth center or hospital births
- Comfort measures; Counterpressure, Massage therapy, fascia release, rebozo techniques, nourishment (food & drink), movement, and repositioning.
- Informed consent regarding your care and possible interventions.
- Birth plan: Advocating for delayed cord-clamping, skin to skin, or breatfeeding when you cannot verbalize your wishes. (during contractions or sleep)
- Emotional support for partners so they feel confident supporting you and advocating for your desired birth plan. (such as if you refuse cervical checks, pulling the placenta or coached pushing)
- Confidence that you have chosen a care team that will support the birth you desire, knowing your non-negotiables and provided tools to help baby get into positon.
Postpartum Care
Postpartum is a tender time full of emotional ups and downs and navigating it as a new parent or even with other little children is challenging. Having a doula to care for you and reassure how amazing you are doing can make such a difference in healing postpartum.
I offer additional postpartum hours outside of the birth doula package so I can help you meal prep, assist in infant cares, provide massage therapy and unique support for you!
Postpartum support:
- Lactation support & referrals - latch, schedule, pumping, ect.
- Infant cares - bottle feeds or lactation schedule follow through during the night, diapering, swaddling and wearing
- Light housekeeping - dishes, laundry, making the space feel tidy
- Meal prep - (preferably before baby's arrival) so you can have many frozen meals, sweets and snacks on hand for postpartum
- Physical and emotional support
