Birth Doula Support

As your doula I provide prenatal visits, offer phone and text support throughout pregnancy, remain with you during your labor and birth, and offer a postpartum visit. I provide educational materials, and birth support tailored to your needs.

In prenatal visits we address your desires and concerns surrounding birth, and practice comfort and support measures for you and your partner to use prenatally and during labor. These can include movement and positions for labor, pain management techniques, and meditation and affirmation practices.

During labor, you may want help breathing through intense birthing waves, or communicating your needs to your care provider. You might want physical support such as massage, warm or cold compresses, a bath or shower, or assistance changing positions and moving around. Together we can create an environment in which you feel safe and supported to welcome new life.

The postpartum visit is an opportunity to reflect on your birth experience, tell your story, and admire your new baby. It is also a chance to talk about the challenges of adjusting to new parenthood, and find resources to support you on this journey.

What about my partner?

If a partner is joining you in your pregnancy and labor, they can be a vital support. My role as your doula is to ensure that you both are heard, well informed, and supported physically and emotionally throughout your birth and postpartum period. Birth can be a world altering experience for partners as well, and the support of a doula can empower both of you to welcome your new baby without fear.
