Package INCludes:
2 prenatal visits
at home with birthing person and their partner/ preferably any other people who will be attending the birth. We will use handouts and conversation to vision your ideal birth, discuss hopes and fears you have going into this process, what life will look like postpartum with a new baby, practice advocating for yourself in a healthcare setting, creating a birth plan, and talk through comfort measures / coping tools for labor.
Labor support
As a birth doula, I will be present as a support to the birthing person and their birth partner/team throughout labor. This usually includes lots of massage and encouragement for the birthing person, and helps the partner feel supported and grounded as well.
1 postpartum visit
at home with the birthing person and their partner. This is often a really special time for the birthing person to recount their experience of giving birth. We also discuss what challenges and changes are coming up for the new family, and I provide support where needed, whether talking things through, or helping you find the right provider.
1 Prenatal Massage + 1 Postpartum Massage
As a bodyworker, I highly value the positive effects of massage, so I include massage in my package to support the wellness of the birthing person before and after labor. Each session is 60 minutes, and the postpartum massage is typically done in-home. Additional massage sessions can be added to your package at an adjusted rate.
You can also count on:
Consistent check ins after prenatal visits with your care provider.
I am available for anything that comes up for you emotionally , or if you have further questions regarding your health, your baby’s health, and your options during labor and after birth, I can point you toward resources for further information.
