Doula Services
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a birth doula, my goal is to help enrich your birth experience and to preserve your birth memory as much as possible by helping you to become educated on your options and by supporting your informed choices. We all deserve to be cared for as we bring new life into the world!
I am a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula (HD) and I am completing the birth doula certification through DONA International. Toward that goal, I have completed the following certifications...
2 Prenatal Visits - During these visits we will discuss how your pregnancy is going, how you envision your birth, information about the birth process and birth choices. I provide a copy of my personally created, 11 page Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond Resource Guide to each of my clients, as well as free access to my lending library of books and videos on pregnancy, baby massage, birth, breastfeeding, parenting and natural living.
The Birth - I will be available to you 24/7 for the two weeks before and the week following your birth. As soon as you are confident that your labor has begun I ask that you contact me. I will be with you, assisting with comfort measures, emotional and information support, hypnosis cues (if applicable), still and/or video photography (when possible), and breastfeeding support immediately following the birth, if desired.
2 Postpartum Visits - During these visits we will discuss how your birth went, any postpartum issues, breastfeeding assistance, if desired, and overall how your new family is doing. I will also provide a written copy of your birth story. I can also perform light housekeeping upon request for an additional fee of $25/hr.
My fee for the above doula services is $350. There is a discounted rate for families who would like to combine my Hypnobabies classes and doula services. And understanding that we all find ourselves in tough financial situations now and then, I am open to working out a payment plan that works for your finances. Please contact me to discuss this option.
