Services
As your doula, I work to provide holistic care to you in whatever capacity helps your family most — whether that is running to the grocery store, rocking the baby to sleep, or helping you stay organized in the postpartum period. I hope that my complete spectrum of services can help your family as you embark on your parenthood journey.
Postpartum Support
Postpartum care for the entire family, available from the day of birth onward, up to three months. I offer holistic postpartum support to help the family recover, adjust and thrive in the immediate postpartum period. With either day or night support, I will help your family to stay on top of housework, establish care, feeding and sleep routines for the newborn, assist in recovery and lactation and feeding efforts, and generally pick up the slack where it is needed to support your growing family. I believe that helping parents to get rest and establish routines in those first crucial months can set families up for success in the infant period, and I bring a flexible attitude to doing what it takes to support my families. I am happy to support breastfeeding or formula feeding families, and those who are looking to sleep train or cosleep. I believe the best way to support your family is to affirm your decisions and provide resources, information and support where it is needed. Postpartum services are offered at an hourly rate, with a minimum of 40 hours required to book.
Labor and Birth Support
Labor and Birth doula support from date of booking through the labor, including three in person visits prenatally, and one visit postpartum, as well as continuous in person support during labor. As your labor doula, I will help you to craft a birth plan, decide on medication and birthing options, inform you of your rights as well as the responsibilities of your medical provider. I will also provide resources for other professionals to help you in your prenatal period that will help you prepare for your birth. I will be present as needed to advocate for your decisions and help for you to have the birth that you want. I believe firmly that whatever decisions you make about your birth will be what is right for you and your family, and I am there to support them. I am available for hospital, birth center and home births, and can provide support for vaginal and cesarean births. Labor and Birth services are offered at a package rate.
Abortion Care Support
Available to assist in whatever context necessary, from finding resources and options, accompanying individuals to visits, providing in person support for medication or surgical abortion, and available for questions and concerns during and after. Available for virtual support as well. Offered at a flate rate with sliding scale available as needed.
