MY SERVICES
What I Do
PRENATAL VISITS
Our first meeting will be a casual in-person or virtual meet & greet where we can ask questions and determine if I would be the best doula for you. When you choose me as your doula there will be a $100 deposit to reserve your due date. We will meet about halfway through your pregnancy to go over your birth plan and again at 38 weeks to practice comfort measures we will use during birth. At this last meeting the final balance of $400 will be due.
LABOR SUPPORT
During your due date month I will be on call and ready to support you during your birth. I can help you get into different positions, distract you from contractions in early labor, help you maintain your rhythm in active labor, and provide encouragement to you and your support person. Doula's are known for advocating for their clients, but we don't speak on your behalf. We provide resources so you can be informed and encourage you to ask your own questions and make your own decisions.
POSTPARTUM VISITS
After the birth I will stay with you for an hour or two to help you get settled in, start breastfeeding if you choose, and take some photos of the new family. One to two weeks after the birth I will meet you in your home to go over your birth experience and extend any further resources you may need.
NANNY SERVICES
During the first few weeks after birth and beyond you will be adjusting to life with your new little one. It can often be overwhelming, especially for first time moms, when your support person goes back to work. I am here to help you with housework or childcare for an additional fee.
