Outline of Fees and Services
As a pregnancy and birth doula I provide emotional and physical support, information, and resources.I cannot perform clinical exams or prescribe medications.
Some of the many things we will cover in our prenatal meetings:
- Your vision of an ideal childbirth
- A birth plan
- How I can best support you and your partner
- Your hopes and fears about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting
- The stages of labor
- Natural comfort measures including massage techniques, aromatherapy, breathing tips, and visualization
- Birth positions
- Pros and cons of medical interventions
- Breastfeeding
- Postpartum care
Postpartum meetings are very flexible. I can help around the house, cook a meal, run some errands, or simply be there to talk to you. I can hold the baby while you squeeze in a shower, or you and your partner take a short walk. I will provide feedback on breastfeeding and baby wearing. I encourage discussion about your birth experience.

Additional Services
Prenatal A La Carte
If you would like to have an educational session or two, but are not interested in having a doula present at your birth, I charge $200 per session. Session One focuses on what to expect at the hospital, interventions and alternatives, and comfort measures. Session Two focuses on the stages of labor, birth positions, and massage techniques.
