I like to be flexible in my doula support package offerings because everyone is on their own unique journey. I am offering create your own doula packages! Let’s jump on a complimentary 30 minute call to go over what options may be best for you.
There are some sample package ideas below and individual support services are available.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Support: prenatal visits to go over nutrition, pregnancy testing, decisions, informed consent, childbirth education, fears, excitements, birth planning, postpartum planning, and so much more. Using this time to reflect on what is important to your vision, cob web clearing, taking a look into what patterns may need to be addressed as you approach this major life event. These visits we dive into the depths of your birth vision, preparing you for a more empowered experience, trusting in your intuition and your body’s innate wisdom. Whether its your intro into motherhood or you’ve been here before, there are always areas that may need visiting.

Birth

Birth Support: having a doula at your birth can take some pressure off of your partner or other support person. This support can be hands on with massage, counter pressure techniques and position changes. And it can look like aromatherapy, setting a relaxing environment, nourishment, setting the space for an ideal first 24 hours. It also provides advocating for mother centered birth support, keeping your care team well informed with your birth plan and desires and helping you to navigate any tension that may call for more informed decision making.
Please Note: I am attending a limited number of births during specific months of the year.

Postpartum

Postpartum Support: having postpartum support is invaluable. This support offers ideal nourishment through delicious meals, snacks and beverages for an optimal postpartum healing experience for Mama and bonding experience for baby. My food nourishment is inspired by Asian & Indian cultures that emphasize the importance of the First Forty Days. Support also includes checking in with your healing, listening to your birth story, giving you space to care for your body with herbal baths, warm massage and yoni steams. How you nourish yourself in the 40 days postpartum can set you up for the next 40 years.
