$1600 | Comprehensive Doula Support Package

Pre-Labor Support

Complimentary Pre-Hire Meeting: An initial, no-obligation meeting to get to know each other and discuss your preferences and needs.

Ongoing Communication: Unlimited support via phone, text, and email throughout your pregnancy to provide reassurance, answer questions, and offer education and guidance on health and wellness. Before the on-call period, I keep office hours, but will respond promptly. It is important to me that families feel prioritized and supported from the moment we start working together.

Prenatal Education & Resources:

Emphasis on Individualized Education and Preparation—this will be designed to support your specific wants and needs.

Access to evidence-based information on pregnancy, labor stages, and comfort measures, as well as access to my personal lending library.

Guidance on labor positions, counter-pressure techniques, and relaxation strategies including breath-work and visualization.

Birth Planning: We’ll collaborate on a birth readiness plan, keeping flexibility for any necessary changes.

Community Connections: Unlimited access to additional support resources and contacts within the community, as related to pregnancy, postpartum, and care of your newborn.

Individualized Prenatal Meetings and Education:

Two prenatal meetings to discuss your specific birth plan and answer any questions related to labor and birth. This will be in-home, or a location of your choice to discuss comfort measures and labor prep, ensuring confidence and knowledge around early and active stages of labor.
