Doula Services

"Whenever and however you intend to give birth, you experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life."

—Ina May Gaskin

Hiring me as your Doula (the works)


-Step one: Interview/Get to know you

  • I will take you out for your favorite drink or treat and we can chat and see if I’m a good fit for your birth dream team

-Step two: Paperwork 🙄

  • The most boring part: signing papers

-Step three: First prenatal visit. Done with or without partner/spouse

  • Make/discuss your birth preferences in detail, I can teach your partner/spouse how to apply counter-pressure as well as other comfort measures, and/or I can accompany you to a doctor appointment if you would like me to meet your midwife/OB.

-Step four: Second prenatal visit (focusing on postpartum)

  • Building your postpartum plan, helping cross off nesting checklist items, helping with meal plan/meal prep for postpartum.

-Step five: “Today’s the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, we are getting OUT of here!” (A.k.a. Labor/birth)

  • I will be there for support either as soon as you feel like you need me or when you are in active labor

-Step six: Postpartum care

  • 2 postpartum check ins (at least one in person). 1 homemade meal brought to you (either breakfast lunch, or dinner)
