Birth Doula Care:

​

Tier I package

- 1 in-person prenatal meeting to discuss your birthing preferences, create a birth plan, and prepare questions for your care provider. We’ll discuss stages of labor, laboring techniques you might be comfortable with, any anxiety you may have, and how to prepare for your postpartum period

- Unlimited access to me via email, text, and pre-arranged phone calls from the moment you hire me until 3 months postpartum

- I am "on-call" for your labor & birth beginning at 38 weeks, until the birth of your baby.

- During labor, I advocate for the type of birth you desire.  If unexpected circumstances arise, I provide perspective that aligns with your birthing goals as much as possible. I make suggestions for labor progression and assist with comfort measures (relaxation, massages, body positioning, and breathing techniques) during labor and birth. 

- I remain with you up to 2 hours postpartum to make sure you and your baby are settled in as a family.  I can provide basic breastfeeding help and answer any lingering questions.

*My birth care listed above is a rate of $1,500

 

Tier II package

- 1 additional in-person prenatal meeting, to cover more detailed preferences and to provide extra in-person emotional support and mental preparation for your birth and postpartum period.
