Prenatal visits
Prenatal visit hours will be scheduled throughout your pregnancy. These visits will give us time to get to know each other and what your expectations of me are. I will also give you information on how to prepare for birth, discuss what type of comfort measures work best for you, talk about how your partner can be supportive, general hospital protocol and create a birth plan.
24/7 On-call Support
To provide you with support to answer any questions or concerns that you may be having during your pregnancy I am available by both phone and email. I encourage clients to call with questions and updates. I make every effort to be available when you call, but will check my voice mail every hour if I am unable to. Emails will be returned within 24 hours.
Continuous Labor Support
Phone contact in early labor allows me to offer emotional support, provide information and ideas for comfort. It is up to you when you want me to come and be with you. Once I arrive I will stay with you until after the birth. Some of the ways that I will support you during labor include: guiding your breathing, offering visualization, suggesting position changes, aromatherapy, acupressure or massage. I will support the partner by offering suggestions, reassurance and encouragement.
Postpartum Visits
I will stay with you for up to 2 hours after the baby is born to make sure you and your partner are comfortable and ready for quiet time. I can also help you with breastfeeding at this time. Postpartum visits will be scheduled when you desire, usually within the first 24 hours home and thereafter as needed. Should any questions or concerns arise at any other time, I’m available by phone. At these visits I can give you support on breastfeeding, suggestions for postpartum comfort measures, helping with newborn care, and allow you to talk about your birth experience.

The Basic Package was created because I truly want every woman to have a positive, supported birth experience and understand that some families may forgo having a doula because of cost. For this reason I offer the Basic Package on a sliding scale fee up to $200.
The Standard Package is designed to comprehensively meet the needs of birthing families. Six hours of prenatal appointments give you and your partner an opportunity to prepare for birth in a way that will help you feel informed and confident. The time we spend together also gives me a deeper understanding of you and your needs.
The Everything Package is offered to families who are looking for as much support as possible. You will receive all the benefits of the Standard Package, with extra prenatal appointments and postpartum support.
I will not turn any woman away, please contact me if money is of concern.The same level of support during labor is given with all packages.
