Birth and Postpartum Doula
Everything You Need to Know
Birth Doula
Birth is a beautiful journey and a huge milestone in your life, and your partners life. Families are often left feeling overwhelmed and left with many unanswered questions and the uncertainty of their options. I promise to help educate and support you , so that you feel empowered and confident in your birth choices.
Prenatal Support
Our prenatal sessions are a time for us to get to know one another and to help you be prepared for your big day! We will go over what to expect during labor, coping skills and comfort techniques during your birth, interventions, as well as creating your birth plan. We also get hands on with techniques such as massage, rebozo, and prenatal yoga. Each session is tailored to each family. Additional sessions may be added at an additional cost.
Postpartum Doula
1-2 Hours following your birth, I will be there to support you and assist with any breastfeeding (If you choose) and to help settle your family in. 1 additional Postpartum Visit is included in the Birth Package. This visit is for any questions regarding newborn care, breastfeeding and resources/referrals. It is also the time where i like to check in with you and how you are feeling mentally and physically. This is a big transition and I want you to feel supported in all aspects. Should you choose to forgo additional Postpartum visits, Daytime hours are a 4hr minimum and Overnight Care is an 8hr minimum. Sometimes, all you need to feel a little bit more of yourself again is proper sleep!
