Our Services
Prenatal Childbirth Classes.
I offer Birthing From Within childbirth preparation classes. Private classes available, as well as weekend intensives.
In my classes, you and your partner will spend time connecting and learning about the labor process, as well as comfort measures and pain coping practices. We will address the postpartum time, as well as feeding and caring for a newborn.
Labor and Birthing.
As a birth doula, I will support you through your journey during pregnancy and childbirth. We start with prenatal visits at your home to get to know each other and to discuss your options, concerns and wishes. During early labor, I will be in phone contact and available 24/7 to answer any questions that arise during this time. After I arrive at your home, I offer support to help determine when it is time to go to the hospital or when to contact the midwife and birth team. I will offer suggestions for positions, and I use tools such as breathing exercises, massage and visualization to help make your experience feel as comfortable and supportive as possible. I act as your advocate, as it is my priority for you to have the birth experience you desire. I am there to lend an extra hand, anticipate what you need and help your partner understand their important role in the process. I am there to be open and receptive to whatever unfolds in the process, and to help you understand and navigate the amazing and unpredictable journey of labor and birth.
Postpartum.
We are here to assist you with the transition after your birth so you can rest, heal and bond with your baby. We offer hourly rates and can create the best plan for your families needs. We offer help with feedings, newborn care, light meal prep, home organization, and support for other family members, including siblings. We believe every birthing person deserves support, care and education during the postpartum period. With an extra set of hands, we hope to offer the care, connection and space needed in order to thrive during this incredible and essential time for parents and baby.
Pricing varies based on clients needs. We are happy to put together a package for you, so let’s connect and discuss your needs.
