Birth Doula Package

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 TWICE, around 33 and 37 weeks of 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 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.
