Birth Doula Service Package

FREE interview: We meet in person to get to know one another. You can ask me questions so that you can decide if we are a good fit.

First Home Visit: During this meeting we get to know each other, and we discover your desires, hopes, and fears for your labor and birth. We discuss the specific ways that I can uniquely support the mother before, during, and after the birth. During this meeting I can also check in with the father or birth companion to learn how I can best support the father or birth companion during labor as well.

Second Home Visit: We practice pain management techniques together so that you can get familiar with them before labor begins. We also review your birth plan carefully, discuss the unexpected, and discuss in depth how you are feeling emotionally and physically about the upcoming birth. I also go over when to call your doula, and discuss signs of labor and its progression so that you are confident in knowing when your birthing time has come.

24-Hour On Call: From 38 weeks to 42 weeks, I am available to you at any time until your baby is born. This also includes phone/text/e-mail support before labor begins to answer any questions or check in with how you are doing emotionally and physically.

During the Birth: I remain with you from the time you ask me to join you when labor has clearly begun (this includes labor at home) until up to two hours after the birth to help with bonding and breastfeeding.

Postpartum Follow-Up: I come to your home for one postpartum visit where we can process your birth experience and check in with how you are doing with rest and recovery. Upon request, I provide a timeline of your birth at this meeting as a keepsake.

Breastfeeding Support: I can help with initial latch-on immediately after the birth and provide support at our postpartum meeting and over the phone to encourage you and provide any necessary resources to help establish a successful breastfeeding relationship.
