Birth doula support package

Everything begins with a conversation. We can chat by phone or meet at a local coffee shop to get to know each other a bit. When you decide to hire me as your birth doula, the package includes:

  • Unlimited phone, email and text message support beginning when you hire me.

  • One prenatal visit in your home. In this visit we will get to know each other even better and cover:

    • Basic childbirth processes

    • Your specific birth needs and preferences

    • Consultation for writing your birth plan

    • Comfort measures and your preferred approach to coping in labor

    • Gentle movements for optimal fetal positioning

  • Recommended reading

  • Communication tools for facilitation of positive, clear communication with your medical providers beginning in prenatal care

  • Suggested packing lists for hospital and birth center births

  • On call 24/7 for your birth from 39-42 weeks

  • Continuous support beginning in active labor or when you decide you would like me to join you, through birth, and 1-2 hours postpartum

  • Photos of birth and early family moments (taken via your phone or camera and only as you wish)

  • Detailed notes recorded

  • Home visit within two weeks of birth to support your early postpartum experience and to review and reflect on your birth

Birth Preparation Retreat

We love to help prepare you for an empowered birthing experience. In our Birth Preparation Partner Retreat, we work together - in person or virtually - for three hours to:

  • Help prepare you for a regret-free birthing experience.

  • Clarify your priorities and needs (both birthing person and birth partner).

  • Equip you with communication tools for positive, clear communication with your medical providers beginning in prenatal care and extending through the birthing and postpartum periods.

  • Birth plan review and consultation.

  • Deep dive into some of the incredible processes that unfold through labor and birth so you can better understand the sensations you may experience, interventions you may be offered and how it all works together to help bring your baby into your arms.

  • Practice gentle movements that support optimal fetal positioning by bringing balance (and comfort) to the mother’s body.

  • Teach birth partner comfort measures to use during labor.

  • Review how to create a birthing environment that supports the natural processes unfolding.

  • Offer helpful resources for decision-making, mindset and deep relaxation.
