Labor Doula Services
I do FREE consultations! Feel free to contact me to set up a meeting!
I do both hospital and home births
Two prenatal visits:
I will go on call for you 24/7 two weeks prior to your estimated due date where I will carry my cell phone on me at all times be it day or night. You can call me whenever you feel like you are going into labor and I will come to wherever you are to be by your side. You can also call me even if you don't need me right away to feel ensured and comfortable with your progress in labor.
Once you are in labor, I will continue to provide emotional, physical and informational support for you and your birth partner throughout labor up until your birth and first breastfeeding session if you plan to breastfeed.
After your birth, I will provide immediate postpartum support and help establish breastfeeding and bonding. I usually stay between 1-2 hours after birth and leave whenever the mother and birth partner feel comfortable and settled into their postpartum room (if in hospital).
I am available after your birth to meet with you again to go over your birth and answer any questions that you may have about the birth; preferrably 2-3 weeks postpartum but any time that you feel ready.
I usually take notes and a few pictures during your labor and birth and write a birth story/time line for a keepsake for my clients if they choose. However this is optional and you have the option of declining this. I am not a professional photographer but can refer you to a birth photographer if you would like high quality/quantity photographs.

I do both hospital and home births
Two prenatal visits:
- First prenatal visit will be in your second trimester usually lasting up to two hours or more. We usually talk about the birth plan, concerns, desires, etc. and we are able to get more acquainted with one another.
- Second prenatal visit usually occurs the last month that the mother is due. We discuss any concerns and make sure where I need to meet the mother at whether it be at home or at the hospital.
