Signature Support Package
Intentional preparation before birth, skillful 1-on-1 support during birth, and gentle guidance after birth.
Prenatal support:
Complementary meet and greet: we’ll meet, get to know each other, and ensure that we’re the right fit for your journey.
2 In-depth prenatal meetings (1.5-2 hours each): These sessions are dedicated time to listen to your wishes for your experience, gently work through any fears and uncertainties, and discuss your preferences.
Evidence-based preparation: We’ll dive into practical and science-backed strategies for prenatal wellness, coping with labor, and decision-making so you are well-equipped, informed, and prepared. Educational materials include simple, yet profound ways you can support your body’s natural physiology both before and during birth.
Customized birth plan: Together, we’ll go through all of your options for labor so you know what is available to you, making a plan for your preferences and preparing you to confidently advocate for your decisions.
Unlimited support: your doula will be available for support via text, call, or email throughout your pregnancy. Whether you need someone to walk with you through changing medical scenarios, want to hear alternative options for support in a specific area, or just need someone to listen, these are all areas where a knowledgeable and compassionate birth companion can help you feel heard and supported.
Birth support:
Continuous labor support: 1-on-1 physical and emotional support for you, as well as support, guidance, and relief for your partner.
Physical support: Benefit from the knowledgeable use of hands-on skills and birth tools that a professional doula brings to a birth, like massage techniques, rebozo, peanut ball, birth comb, aromatherapy, and more.
Supportive presence: a calm, steady companion that will gently encourage and support you. Someone to remind you that it’s okay to take a minute to discuss a medical decision, suggest a new coping technique when things get intense, or just be there with you during the hard work of labor.
Postpartum support:
1-2 Hours of immediate postpartum care: support for your family during the “golden hours”.
Breastfeeding and latching assistance: receive guidance that will set you up for success in your feeding goals.
2 Postpartum visits in the first 6 weeks: can be in-home or virtual as you prefer (though I’d love to bring you some food!). We’ll make time for you to talk through your experience, discuss any struggles you might be having, and find resources for any further referrals you might need.
Spiritual support (optional):
As a Christian, my faith is deeply important to me. As part of my service, and only as you desire, I can provide encouragement and spiritual support from a biblical worldview. The Bible has a lot to say about the principles that should guide us every day, but I believe it leaves room for a wide variety of methods and freedom in birth choices (probably more than most people think!).
If you’re non-religious or have other religious preferences that will impact your birth decisions, please know that I will respect your preferences, and I would still be happy to serve you!
