I will work with you to help you discover what your ideal birth looks like. I will provide non-biased evidence based information should you request it during your pregnancy and birth. I am available via telephone and/or email throughout your pregnancy and birth.
We meet prenatally to discuss my role and also your wishes for your birth. During your labor I am with you either in your home or at the birth place continously and remain with you until after the baby is born. With my extensive training I offer physical and emotional support that may include massage, accupressure, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy and suggestions to utilize different postions. Birth can sometimes be unpredictable so no matter how your birth unfolds I will work closely with you to remain present, calm and
informed.
A doula is there for the birth companion who wants to be an active participant by making suggestions that the birth companion can utilize to support the mother physically and emotionally with confidence throughout the labor and birth.
Sometimes things occur that are unforeseen, so because of
that I work closely with a back-up doula, whom you can speak with and/or meet with in person. I come to your home with-in the first couple of weeks after the birth to process the birth and provide any resources you may need at that time. My fee is $900.00 and that reflects my extensive training as well as my experience attending around 25 births.(as of Oct 2012).
