I recommend hiring a doula as early as you can but it is really never too late to reach out. It's important for us to get to know each other and build a confident and comfortable relationship as knowing your birth vision. While birth does not always go according to your plan, a doula can help navigate the changes, seek additional information, and help you advocate for yourself in times of need.

As a birth doula I provide support in many different capacities which includes epidurals and cesareans. Birth support is not limited and I provide non-judgmental support and information regardless of your choices or things that may be out of your hands. A doula is on your side. 

I have a great support system in my back-up doula team. I will make sure you feel confident in knowing you will be taken care of no matter what. When we meet, I will give you an overview of what back up support looks like and you'll have a chance to meet our backup if you'd like.

I will keep in touch with you and/or your partner or birth support person(s) as soon as labor begins. I will be in touch for updates and as soon as you feel ready you will let me know. We will discuss the progress of labor at our prenatal meetings so you can be confident when it is time to call me over. Sometimes that looks like support at home or meeting you at the birthing center or hospital. That is totally up to you.

We can meet in person or over Zoom and learn about my services. Consider this our first date. This is where you decide whether or not you want to continue building a relationship. I’ll listen to you and hear what you're looking for in a Doula. You’ll get to ask whatever questions you might have. Whatever you choose, I want you to find a Doula who gives you a sense of compatibility and excitement. This consultation is free of charge, to see if we would like to work with each other.

Here I will learn more about you and your birth team. We will go over your birth vision, answer any questions you have and provide you with evidence based information on labor and birth options to guide you in building your birth plan. I can provide resources and information to help you make informed decisions about your care. Provide instruction on comfort techniques so you and your partner feel prepared with a toolbox full of helpful support strategies. These visits can be either done through video conferencing or held in-person in your home. Whatever works best for you. 

I am here for you throughout pregnancy and postpartum. 24 hour on-call availability (starting 2 weeks before your due date).

In your chosen birth setting, for day of (labor and delivery). If desired, I can take pictures along the way of your labor and delivery while being sensitive to your privacy guidelines. Provide phone support during pre/early labor, I will join you when it is evident that labor is underway, as discussed in our prenatal meetings. 

Once your baby has arrived, I will stay 1-2 hours to assist with breastfeeding, answer questions, and help you settle in.

I will offer support as you process your birth experience, assist with breastfeeding and newborn care questions, provide referrals and resources, and discuss whatever else you’d like.

After our first in person postpartum visit, I will be available for text, call or Zoom check-ins to answer questions, offer reassurance, and continue to support you as you process your birth and early postpartum experiences for the following 3 weeks.

Follow online instruction using the “Tranerize” app. Through this app, you can follow individual programmed workouts throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey.
