What's in my package?
Here's what you can expect when choosing me as your labor and birth doula:
In-person prenatal visits
I come to your home for in-person prenatal visits to discuss and assist you in assembling your birth preferences. I answer all your questions, provide you lots of information, and we have hands-on demonstrations of laboring positions, comfort measures and practice counter pressure with your partner. I provide you a birth ball and show you how to use this to begin preparing your body to birth your baby. As a childbirth educator, lactation educator and trained postpartum doula, I use all of this training, knowledge and experience to provide you with well-rounded prenatal care and help you get off to a great start with your sweet baby.
Labor and Birth Support
During our prenatal visits I will ensure you are completely prepared for the onset of labor and know exactly what to prepare for. We will also have or plan for continual communication throughout the early stages of labor. Once I join you in labor, I stay with you through the birth of your baby and for the first 1-2 hours afterward to assist with your Golden Hour and to ensure you are well cared for in the immediate postpartum period.
Baby Wearing
I am certified in baby wearing! As part of my package, I will teach you how to wear your baby safely and give you my personal recommendations for carrying your baby and bonding with your baby in the early months. We will have a fun, hands-on group participation for everyone to get familiar with baby wearing.
