Type of Doula: prenatal/birth & postpartum

General Structure of Doula Services:
Depending on your needs and preferences, we build a plan and relationship together that is flexible and supportive. If working with me prenatally towards your birth, we spend several visits together (usually around 3) to discuss birth wishes and plans, share information and local resources, and anything else you may need. If working with me during the postpartum period (either included in your prenatal/birth contract or separately contracted postpartum hours) we still build a relationship that is flexible and supportive with a more refined focus on meeting your needs while you care for and bask in the postpartum period. Typically, this is 1-2 visits, or separately contracted hours.

Why are you a Doula?
I came to this work through my own birth experiences. I've had two babies, one in 2020 and one in 2023. Both births led me here. My first son’s birth was long and difficult while my second son’s birth was joyous and healing. I had amazing support throughout both, which inspired me to carry birthwork on for others.
