your body. your baby. your birth.

After our initial connection and interview, we will meet 1-3 times before your labor and birth. During those meetings we will work together to map out your plans and desires for your labor and birth experience. We will walk through the steps and choices that you may encounter along the way and dive into the different labor and birth scenarios.  

I will join you in labor and provide emotional and physical support aligning with your birth plan for the entirety of your labor and birth experience. I am there in service to you and your goals. Following the birth I will support the breastfeeding process and stay as long as feels best for your comfort and space with your baby.

We will schedule a time to meet in person after you are home with your baby. During that visit we will process the labor and birth. We will check in on all things including the transition to home life, breastfeeding and newborn care. This is a really important check in and ideally happens soon after birth.

Now just as much ( if not more than ever) birthing persons need their community of support as they navigate this journey! There are lots of ways that a birth doula can support you in  all stages of your labor and birth  process despite the current health crisis. We can work together to create a birth doula support plan that gives you a sense of safety, advocacy, and support within the new climate of social distance.   No-one should feel alone and with some creative tools we can work to ensure those feelings do not creep in.
