Your Beautiful Birth Awaits

If a woman doesn’t look like a goddess during labor, then someone isn’t treating her right.
- Ina May Gaskin

Congratulations on your pregnancy! As your doula, I support you and your partner physically and emotionally before, during, and after labor. My goal is to help you have an amazing birth while also helping your partner. I don't take the place of your partner as your labor support, rather, I am there as an educated support person who will enhance your birth by allowing your partner to experience your birth with you versus needing to recall all the lessons learned during childbirth classes. I have an intimate knowledge of childbirth while your partner has an intimate knowledge of you. Together, we make a perfect team to help you have a happier birth.

During active labor, I will assist you with positioning, counter-pressure, comforting touch, and breathing, as needed. I will get you water, ice, food (as allowed), hot packs, cold packs, whatever you need so your partner can stay right with you. I will be right there offering continuous support throughout your labor, even making it possible for your partner to take breaks if needed. I will be your voice of reassurance that you're doing great and your body can do this. I will be there to focus on you.

My doula service fee is $1000 and includes:

• All the loving support mentioned above plus:
• An awesome Supporting Arms booklet with information you'll want to have on pregnancy, labor, and postpartum
• 1 birth plan visit where we will go over pregnancy, birth, and postpartum information 
• Phone/Email support throughout your pregnancy
