Services
Prenatal Care
*Free, initial consultation.
*A minimum of two prenatal visits. This is the time in which I will gather more important information; discuss your plans for birth; talk about fears and concerns; and practice breathing, relaxation techniques, and other comfort measures.
*Support by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
*If so desired, I can also accompany you to one of your prenatal visits with your care
provider to meet and discuss your plans for birth.
Labor & Delivery Care
*Continuous support at the onset of labor (at home and/or at the hospital, once the presence of the doula is desired).
*During labor & delivery, I will offer support in accordance with your plans for birth.
Some examples may include, but are not limited to, massage, changing positions,
relaxation techniques, help with breathing, and continued advocacy for you and
the communication between you & your caregivers.
Postpartum Care
*After the delivery, I will remain to help establish breastfeeding and make sure that everyone is
comfortable and settled.
*I will have two postpartum visits with you, your partner, & your new baby. One will be at
the hospital, the day following the birth. One will be at your home, approximately one week after the birth.
*I will still be available to you via phone 24/7 for any questions or concerns after the birth of your
baby.
