MY SERVICES
BIRTH DOULA PACKAGE
Childbirth can be an overwhelming and challenging experience. As your doula, I will be right by your side during labor to assist with hands-on comfort measures, emotional support, partner involvement, and tips & tricks to encourage a smooth labor and delivery. We work together as a team and I'm there to support the goals and desires specific to your family.
Think of me as a trail guide: I'm familiar with the path, I help you keep hiking when you're tired, and know special tricks to help you reach the finish line!
Along with the above services, this package includes:
2 prenatal appointments
The purpose of these meetings is for us to get comfortable with other, discuss your birthing goals, practice comfort techniques for labor, and make a birth plan catered just for you.
Continuous support through active labor through delivery at your desired birthplace.
1 postpartum visit
At this follow-up visit we will review your birth experience, make sure the transition to home is going well, and discuss appropriate referrals to any community services that you may need.
Fee: $600
$100 non-refundable deposit, the remainder is due by 38 weeks
If you hired me at 16 weeks, this is less than $30/month!
Please contact me for a free consultation if you would like to discuss payment plans or different payment arrangements. Bartering is a welcome option.
POSTPARTUM SUPPORT
Postpartum services are for families with a new baby 0-3 months old. I currently am available for work between 8:30am and 9pm.
Goals will be set for individually for each shift. Sometimes that looks like coffee and emotional conversations, sometimes it's a shower or a nap! I respect your parenting goals and strive to help the entire family unit adjust.
The most commonly requested services are:
Assistance with newborn care such as diapering, bathing, feeding & comforting
Birth debriefing or emotional support (being a new parent is HARD!)
Baby wearing basics
Light housekeeping while you rest
Meal prep or cooking.
Rate: $25/hour
