Compassionate, evidence-based care for families in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum

Birth Doula Services

 

Personal, Compassionate, Informed Care

It is my firm belief that every birthing person deserves an amazing birth. It is also my belief that everyone deserves a doula, regardless of age, socioeconomic status, partnership status, religion, gender, or any other factor. My goal is to provide compassionate, attentive care from the time you hire me through the postpartum period. Doula care begins with our no-obligation interview, and I am available by phone from the time you hire me! From the time you sign your contract, I am YOUR doula. Whether you’re a first-time parent or this isn’t your first rodeo, I make sure that we get to know and trust each other throughout your pregnancy with education and prenatal visits. Once I get the call that it's Birth Day, I provide compassionate, personal, and knowledgeable care for both partners during labor and birth.

First time?

If this is your first birth, or you’re planning your first VBAC or first unmedicated birth, I want to make sure you have the education you need to plan and prepare for your amazing birth. This doula package is tailored to the needs of families who are birthing at home, at Beginnings Birth Center, or at a hospital.

Done this before?

If you’ve had previous unmedicated vaginal births, I want to make sure you get the care you need from a doula you’ve built trust with. This doula package includes refresher birth education, prenatal birth planning, and postpartum follow up, and is perfect for families in any birth setting.

Having a doula at your birth is like having a translator for a language you don’t speak.
