What can I offer as your doula?
Birth Support
- An initial informative visit to meet each other and see if the match is comfortable.
- One or two prenatal meetings will help us to form a relationship, explore options, answer questions, and begin to clarify your desires regarding the upcoming birth. We will go over any physical or emotional concerns, clarify your needs, explore support techniques that work and look for those measures to avoid.
- Continuous support by phone/text, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- I will offer constant labor support from the onset of labor. This could be in your home until you are ready to move to where you will deliver. During labor, I will act as an emotional support to you as the birthing mother. This includes helping partners find ways to be supportive as well. Support will continue until the family is settled.
- Postpartum visits are included to discuss the birth and address any concerns that you may have about you or your baby.
- Referrals to community resources.
Pregnancy Loss Support
- Initial informative visit to meet and ensure the match is comfortable.
- Accompaniment to any appointments or procedures, as desired.
- Continuous support by phone/text, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
