As of 1/1/26 doula care with me is FREE!* See bottom of page for details.

Hiring a birth doula is the first step toward the birth you've been dreaming of. It's important that we're a team during your journey. Let's hop on Zoom and see if we're a good fit for each other.

Staying connected is important. Once you sign your contract and pay 1/2 the fee, I'm there for you via text, email, or calls to address your questions & concerns, or to hear your latest appointment update...all the way to six weeks postpartum!

Trust is a key ingredient in any good doula relationship, and this is where it starts. If hired by 30 weeks, we'll meet at your favorite coffee place so I can begin to know and connect with you. Didn't hire me until after 30 weeks? No sweat. We'll start connecting at the first prenatal appointment.

Information, connection, and planning help to stack the deck for an amazing birth experience. I will come to your home two to four times during pregnancy to plan and practice for labor, delivery, and postpartum. We'll strategize and try out a variety of laboring techniques to bring your birth wishes to life.

When will labor start? That's anyone's guess! I go on-call for your birth at the 38 week mark. On-call means I will never be more than 2 hours away and if you think your labor has begun, you call me anytime, day or night. We'll work out together when and where (your home or place of birth) you'd like me to arrive.

The adjustment to parent hood is a BIG one, and I'll be there for you from birth through the first six weeks postpartum. Call, text, or email and I'll help you through the rough spots. As part of the package, I will do two to four postpartum visits with you if you'd like, by Zoom or in person (your choice!) so we can process the labor and delivery experience, troubleshoot, and celebrate.
Let's Zoom or call to see if we're a good fit. No fee, no obligation, and no pressure.
Text, email, or call...whichever you prefer...from hire until 6 weeks postpartum.
Offered if hired prior to 32 weeks, a "getting to know you" opportunity for us both.
2 - 4 visits in your home to prepare for your labor, delivery, and postpartum experience. We'll craft your unique birth plan, learn what you can expect in your birth location, practice for your labor & delivery, and plan for a smoother postpartum experience.
On-call for you from 38 weeks until the birth of your baby, any time of day! Once the big day (or night) arrives, I'm with you from the time I arrive at your home or place of birth until baby arrives and things settle down (usually 2 hours postpartum).
In person or on Zoom, I'm here for you. Let's recap the birth and troubleshoot postpartum. Two to four visits to your home from whenever you feel ready prior to six weeks postpartum. Email, call, or text me with questions or referral requests right up to week six.
* As of 1/1/26, all commercial insurance in Oregon are required to pay for doula care, but not all doulas are willing to work with insurance companies to do this. I AM! I take all commercial insurance, Carrot Fertility coverage, OHP, OEBB, and PEBB. You will need to speak with your commercial insurance company to discuss their individual specifics regarding deductible, amount that can be billed, and other guidelines specific to your plan as it varies greatly. Of course, you can always choose to pay out of pocket, in which case my fee is $1650 for the entire package.

A whole-body assessment along with some beginning exercises to start priming your body for labor and delivery. The earlier we start, the more time we have to fine tune your body's needs.

One-on-one personalized instruction to elevate your labor game and prime your body for the challenges of birth. Plan to add appointments (at least once but up to three) between 20 weeks & 36 weeks of pregnancy, for additional fine tuning & support.

Baby care and breastfeeding is challenging enough! Learn how to work with your new postpartum body and life to avoid additional aches & pains. This can immediately follow your initial 1 hour birth package postpartum visit
