ALL SERVICES
As a birth doula, my job is to understand the physiology of birth and be tuned in to the emotional needs of a woman in labor. I provide physical, emotional, and informational support to women and their partners throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
My goal is to help you have a positive and empowering birth experience. Benefits of having a doula include reduced stress, a birth plan advocate, non-judgmental emotional availability, and improved outcomes.
Doulas are well-versed in childbirth education and can provide valuable information and resources to help expectant parents make informed decisions. Whether discussing pain relief options, birthing positions, or newborn care, doulas empower families with knowledge and confidence.
Childbirth education with me is done in the comfort of your own home and personalized to your priorities in birth (home, hospital, or birth center births).
While we will go over all the possibilities in birth, we will focus on your desires & you will be educated on how to best prepare. Part of childbirth ed with me includes individualized movements, labor positions, & mindset work to support your labor & birth.
These sessions allow for more tailored support to address your individual concerns & questions.
We involve in your partner/labor support person to practice labor positions, comfort measures, & labor scenarios & how they would react.
We dive deep into postpartum: how to keep your body nourished, prioritize recovery, & get support for all parts of your life with new baby.
Meeting with a local person means you have a personal connection nearby & you get local resources for your pregnancy, birth, & postpartum needs.
Join me for private comfort measures coaching & labor preparation designed to add tools to your coping mechanism toolbox. Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth or planning to get an epidural, these sessions provide a supportive space for women & their partners to learn how to incorporate movement & comfort measures into labor to improve comfort & help labor progress. Personalized attention to your desired areas of growth, flexible scheduling and location, comfort and privacy, and focus on your goals & inclusion of your partner.
