Starts with a no-pressure interview to get to know each other, answer questions and see what might be the right fit for you. Whether you’re looking for the full doula support package or just a little postpartum help for a friend, we can put something together that works for your needs.
The full service includes 2-5 prenatal meetings to listen to your birth preferences, discuss your options, demonstrate and practice comfort measures, labor positions, and breathing techniques with the option of a full childbirth/postpartum education class. In addition to learning about postpartum recovery and newborn baby care, I can guide you through creating a full postpartum plan based on your individualized needs. We can also discuss options for creative/artistic/ceremonial practices if you’re interested.
In addition to having me on-call 24 hours a day within the 2 weeks before and after your due date range, you receive unlimited resources, referrals and phone/email support throughout as well as guaranteed backup doulas from within Sage Birth and Wellness Collective’s group of doulas with options to meet them beforehand.
I provide:
Continuous and unlimited labor/birth support and 1-2 hours immediate postpartum integration.
A follow up call 24-48 hours after the birth and unlimited communication through 6 weeks postpartum.
At least one postpartum home visit in which you can process your experience. I can share a detailed timeline of your birth event, resources you may need and breastfeeding support/education.
Ongoing postpartum home visits are available and catered to your specific needs.
