The data’s there: mothers with doula support report more positive feelings about childbirth and postpartum, have higher self-esteem, and experience a more joyful transition to motherhood. Ready to have an empowered birth and postpartum experience? You’re in the right place.
Daytime Doula is nurturing for the new family! Includes hands-on support and teaching of newborn care, feeding methods, soothing, bathing; guidance on breastfeeding and building a good breastmilk supply; care for baby (and other young children if applicable) while you sleep or shower; care for mom during her recovery; assistance with sibling transition; nourishing meal & snack preparation and planning; light household chores such as dishes and laundry; running errands for you; accompanying you on outings (such as to the pediatrician or chiropractor)-- always with a compassionate heart and listening ear.
Nighttime Doula is similar but emphasizes caring for the baby while you sleep. Breastfed babies will be brought to you to nurse, then I will burp, change, and settle your baby. Bottle-fed babies will be completely cared for throughout the night.
Birth Doula is supporting you during pregnancy, preparing you for birth, and accompanying you during active labor. New feature included! A 9-month membership to the Intentional Birth Parent Program (a complete on-demand childbirth preparation series with a "physiology-first" focus, live group mentoring sessions with experts, and connection to a supportive community of other parents). The Birth Doula fee also includes: two to three prenatal visits (up to 5 hours total, combination of in-home and virtual visits) to get to know each other, develop your birth plan, and discuss labor stages, advocacy, comfort measures, aromatherapy, and positioning; 24/7 on-call starting at 38 weeks; continuous support through active labor, the birth, and for about 2 hours after birth; one postpartum visit to review your birth and see how you’re feeling.
