Birth Doula Support

My Approach to Birth

My background with touch and a deep knowledge of our anatomy and physiology is central to how I support my birthing clients.
I prioritize an evidence-based approach.I respect physiological birth and respect medicine as a useful tool when needed/desired. I care about education, agency, and choice.
I am relationship and community centered. I believe that the trust and caring shared between myself and my clients makes all the difference. I have a passion for advocacy.
I am body accepting. I put daily work into respecting and caring for bodies in all of our sizes, shapes, and abilities.

My Birth Support Package

Here you will find a birds eye view of the care I offer birthing families. The details are outlined in depth in my contract, which I can send to you upon our first meeting. Most doulas offer a very similar package, with small differences or perks (such as massage, in my case). I encourage you to choose a doula based on your gut, not simply comparing packages.

Pricing is listed at the bottom of the page.

Before Birth

First Meeting. Your first meeting with me is free, and not part of the package. You can think of it as an interview or a consultation before we sign a contract and decide to work together.
Prenatal Visits. One or two meetings in your home. This time allows us to get to know one another, explore your values/hopes/goals for birth, and build a birth preference plan. We can also practice comfort measures, begin a postpartum plan, and chat about a feeding plan.
Massage. One pregnancy OR postpartum massage. Additional sessions will be discounted 20%.
Unlimited Virtual Support. From the moment I join your team, you are welcome to call or text me with questions, updates, observations, or for emotional support.

During Labor & Birth

Early Labor Virtual Support. I’ll listen and talk through those first signals your body is sending you.
On Call Availability. I will be on call 24/7 to join you at home or at your chosen birthing location when you decide you are ready.
My Presence. I will be with you throughout your birth, providing continuous non-judgemental decision making support, advocacy, and teamwork with your partner to bring you a sense of ease, solidarity, and affirmation.
Comfort Measures. Hand and foot massage, hot and cold compresses, positioning suggestions, and much, much more.
Surgical Birth Support. If you are planning a C-section, I’m happy to be present in the OR. If you are hoping for a vaginal birth and experience a change of plans, I will do everything I can to join you in the OR.

Postpartum Care

Staying By Your Side. I’ll stick around at your birthing location for two hours after your birth while you experience your first moments with your little one. I like to stay until both of you have been fed.
Postpartum Visits. Two or three postpartum visits in your home. We can discuss your birth experience and you can receive a little at-home care.
Staying Connected. I’ll continue to be available for phone and text support. Once your doula, always your doula.

Schedule Our First Meeting

I believe birth support should be accessible for everyone, so I use a tiered pricing model. This allows each person or family to identify what they are able to pay, and we can work together with mutual care and respect.
