Explore what we offer
Before Birth: I offer emotional, and informational support while we navigate through your pregnancy. We will discuss how to create a birth plan, practice comfort/ coping techniques, and talk about your birthing rights. This all comes with your Doula prenatal visits! This will help set us up to create a birthing experience that is tailored to your specific needs.
During Birth: I provide emotional, and physical support at this time for you and your support team that may be in the delivery room. I am here to create a soothing, light, and comfortable space for you while you labor and during your birth. I will be present to help assist, advocate, and to make sure your needs are met, and you are heard.
After Brith: We use this time to reflect on your birth, and prepare to ease you into parenthood. As your doula I can assist in newborn care, emotional support, and postpartum support. I will be here to assist with any questions, and to support you and your family as you navigate this new norm of being a parent.
