My practice centers on the idea that families and birthing people know best what they need to have healthy, empowering birth experiences.
My role as your doula is to listen, to be curious, to educate, to empathize, and to facilitate. I believe that doula-supported births can create healthier families, healthier communities, and a healthier world.
As a postpartum doula, I can help you juggle the responsibilities of new parenthood. The tasks of a postpartum doula may include:
Spending time with baby, while you shower, nap, or spend quality time with an older sibling
Light housework such as pet care, dishes and laundry
Assisting with physical recovery from your birth
Providing guidance for quality breastfeeding
Overnight care, so that you can get the rest you need
Preparing healthy, nourishing meals designed to address the needs of a new parent
Hourly rate for daytime postpartum care: $35/hour
Hourly rate for overnight postpartum care: $50/hour
As a sibling doula, I can help your older child navigate the birthing experience. The role and responsibilities of the sibling doula vary depending on the wishes of the family, but can include:
Involving older siblings in the birthing process in a safe, educational way
Facilitating the transition into older sibling-hood
Maintaining a child’s routine
Explaining the birth process
As a birth doula, I can help guide you through the transformative experience of pregnancy and birthing. The role of a doula may include:
