Doula Services

OFFERED SERVICES

Unsure of your birth options? I can help clarify your options by applying my experience in the medical field as a Registered Nurse in the clinical, hospital, birth center, and at home birth settings. All of these can be a great resource and help equip you to make the right decisions for your birth based on your personal needs and what is best for you.

Services offered are as follows:

  • Initial Visit – We will meet at your home and discuss your current care, desired birth outcome and areas to be covered during prenatal visits.
  • Prenatal Visit – in these visits we will continue to implement ways to support you and help you build your birth team, we will discuss the many resources available to you to ensure an optimal birth. We will develop an evidence-based education plan that is best suited for your learning style.
  • Birth Planning– when developing a birth plan we will cover your patient rights and how to ensure that you give informed consent.  This plan will communicate to your birth team how you feel safe and cared for during your birth. This is designed to cover all areas of birth from natural to cesarean section, in turn you will be prepared no matter what kind of birth is ahead of you.
  • Phone, Text, and E-mail Support– available during business hours. A way for us to stay in touch and get answers to any (non-emergent) questions that may arise during pregnancy and preparation for your birth.
  • Baby Home Preparation– helping you design a plan for your home and prepare for the growth of your family, develop a plan to be efficient with your home space and the products on the market that will help you keep organized.
  • Birth Support– in order to best serve you I only make myself available to a limited number of births each month (2-3 births max), this ensures that you have my full attention and the highest level of support I can provide you. We will develop a plan of when to call me based on your progression of labor and your need for in-person support. Starting two weeks prior to your due date I will be on call 24/7 for your birth. (During covid-19 most hospitals are only allowing one birth partner and a doula to accompany mom during the birth. Inquire with your medical provider about any current restriction)
  • Post-partum Visit– If I attended your birth, this is where I will bring my notes from your birth to review and discuss your labor and birth process. I can help you with breastfeeding support, engagement of sibling with new born, and provide you with education on the on going care of a new born.
