More About My Offerings:

Initial interview: a free of charge get-to-know you visit where we assess if it feels like we are a good match! I can answer any questions you have about my services and provide referrals to other doulas if necessary. I want you to find the doula that is right for you!

Prenatal meetings: visits that happen at your home, a park, or on zoom, depending on your preferences. These meetings allow you to share your desires, hopes, and fears that may impact your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. We will discuss your birth preferences, comfort measures including visualization, massage, breathing techniques, aromatherapy, and many other tools I offer. If you have a partner, we will discuss their feelings about the birth and figure out how we can work together to support you. We will also discuss logistics about where and when I may join you when your labor begins.

Postpartum visit: happens one or two weeks after you give birth. I will come to your home to see how things are going for you and baby regarding healing, breastfeeding, and sleep. We will discuss your birth experience and I can answer questions you may have about the birth. Childbirth is a deeply emotional experience, and this is a time for you to share and explore your feelings with me. If possible, I will provide you with a written timeline of events.

Please contact me to discuss further! I have multiple package options and customizable add ons to accommodate your doula support desires. Sliding scale options are also available as it is my belief that everyone who wants a doula should have access to one. Families that choose to pay my full rate will be supporting me in offering my services pro-bono to less resourced families.
