Birth Doula
A birth doula is a key person to have as a member in your birthing team from as early as conception to the early postpartum period. I work closely with clients throughout their pregnancy to help them to prepare for birth through providing educational resources. During labor, I will be present either at the hospital or birthing center to provide support in a non-medical capacity. I also act as an advocate in the mother’s desired birth space to promote a safe and comfortable birth environment and support the mother’s intended delivery.
Prenatal Support
For those I cannot support in person, I can act as a knowledgeable, compassionate advocate as you navigate all the choices available to you throughout pregnancy and while preparing for labor. We can cover:
Childbirth Education (pregnancy, labor and beyond)
Your Choices in Childbirth (prenatal testing and what to expect, vaccine resources, informed consent throughout the prenatal visitations, birth center/hospital, collaborating with your care team)
Aligning on Birth Preferences (and preparing for the unknown)
Nutrition & Supplementation Guidance
Comfort Measures & Laboring Techniques
