    Birth Doula

    With all the information out there, it can feel so overwhelming to try to figure out what’s right for you throughout pregnancy and birth. My goal as your doula is to help show you the options before labor and we’ll figure out together what your preferences are. Doulas act as a guide from the time of hire through birth and into postpartum.

    We’ll be there to literally (and figuratively) hold your hand, when needed, every step of the way.

    The Birth Doula Package includes the initial consult, prenatal visit (where we’ll hash out your birth preferences sheet together), labor prep course, labor support, and a postpartum meeting.

    Postpartum doula

    The Fourth Trimester is often the time that is most difficult for new parents. It can feel very overwhelming caring for a newborn and operating on little sleep. Our postpartum doulas can help with overnight care of the baby, or assist during the day with whatever your needs might be.

    Newborn care and guidance, laundry, light cleaning, care of other household children, grocery shopping, and cooking- having this kind of help postpartum really can make such a huge difference.
