offerings
I offer nurturing support for parents in pregnancy, birth, and the incredible postpartum journey. I believe in fostering a peaceful and empowering environment where you can connect with your inner wisdom and embrace the power of your transformation in growing a family. My intention is to create a space of deep listening, gentle guidance and education, and unwavering support as you grow into your unique parenthood roles.
If there is anything you don’t see that you would like as part of your experience, please feel free to bring it to my attention.
All packages include access to digital education materials.
I believe that financial considerations should not be a barrier to receiving compassionate birth and postpartum support. I offer flexible payment options, including a sliding scale to honor varying financial circumstances, manageable payment plans to ease the investment, and a limited number of pro bono spaces. It is my goal to support families on their journey, regardless of their financial background.

FAQs
-
A birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to a birthing person and their family before, during, and after labor. Doulas offer non-medical support, focusing on comfort measures like massage and positioning, emotional reassurance, and evidence-based information to help birthing people make informed decisions. Essentially, a birth doula's goal is to empower and support a birth experience, however that looks for each individual. They do not provide medical advice or perform medical procedures. A birth doula’s role adapts with each family’s needs.

A postpartum doula provides support to families after the birth of a baby. This support focuses on the physical and emotional recovery of the birthing parent, newborn care, and family adjustment. Postpartum doulas offer practical help such as newborn feeding support, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and running errands. They can also provide evidence-based information on newborn care, postpartum health, and connect families with other resources. Their primary role is to nurture and support the entire family during the often-challenging postpartum period, helping them transition smoothly into parenthood. They do not provide medical advice.
-
Your partner's involvement is invaluable, and a doula complements their support, not replaces it. Think of it as having a team. Your partner can focus on providing love and emotional connection, while the doula offers professional expertise in birth and postpartum. A doula can offer your partner breaks, suggest helpful comfort techniques they might not know, and provide reassurance when things get intense. Doulas also have experience navigating the hospital environment and can help your partner advocate for your birth preferences. Ultimately, a doula enhances the experience for both of you, creating a more supported and positive birth.

My standard rates reflect my suggested fees, which we can discuss during our initial consult. I believe everyone deserves doula support, regardless of their financial situation. I'm happy to discuss sliding scale options or payment plans with anyone who needs them. If you're able to pay my full rate, please know that your generosity helps me provide services to families with limited resources through sliding scale and pro-bono work.
