01
Consistent Communication
From the moment you hire me, we will have consistent communication via texts, phone calls, and/or email. You have access to my support when you need it.
02
Personalized Prenatal Visits
During our prenatal visits, we will meet in your home to get to know one another, discuss birth preferences, address any concerns or questions you might have, and create a birth plan tailored to you. We will also go over postpartum expectations, planning, and feeding preferences. We will utilize the EBB® My Doula Workbook to guide your planning and align your goals and values with your plan.
03
Labor and Birth Support
Once the baby decides to come, you will have me by your side offering continuous support in labor, birth, and immediate postpartum. Support can look like words of affirmation, massage, emotional regulation, positioning and movement, helping your partner help you, and advocacy for your preferences.
04
Postpartum Care and Support
After your baby’s arrival, we will schedule an in-person session to check-in on the family unit. I offer guidance, reassurance, and practical support and referrals as you navigate new challenges or emotions in the postpartum period.
05
Lactation and Feeding Support
My goal is to help you achieve your feeding goals, whether at the breast, via pumping, mixed feeding, or exclusive formula. I can help with navigating basic breastfeeding challenges. However, I use professional lactation consultant referrals to help with serious challenges. For those who plan to use formulas, we will talk about safety guidelines and make sure that you’re following best practices.
