• Two or more prenatal consultations to discuss your birth plan, labor preferences, and to discuss what your partner's role for the birth will be, and to answer any questions you or your partner may have.  As well as a doula I'm also a certified childbirth educator so our prenatal visits can be used to cover those topics you may want or need more information on. 

• Unlimited phone contact during normal business hours of 8AM-5PM to answer any questions you may have or to offer suggestions on coping with the discomforts of pregnancy.

• 24/7 On call status beginning 2 weeks before your estimated due date until the date of delivery.

• Lending library of books and videos relating to childbirth and breastfeeding.

• Early labor support in your home or via phone until you decide that you need me at your side.

• Attendance during labor, delivery and 2 hours after the birth to help establish breastfeeding.

• Birth photography available upon request at no additional charge, either with your own camera or my digital camera.   Please note that if you hire me as your birth doula my first priority is to providing doula services during the labor and birth.  It is not uncommon for me to be so busy with doula work that I am unable to take pictures during the labor and birth, so if pictures of the entire process are important to you then you may want to consider having a person who is dedicated to providing photography and not rely on what I might be able to provide as a doula. 

            (Digital images are easily edited to preserve modesty.)

•  Detailed birth story with any pictures that I may have taken during the birth. Digital images are provided on a CD so that you can share with family and friends.

   

  • One postpartum visit appx 1-3 weeks after the birth to review your birth experience, answer any questions you may have about the birth, breastfeeding or infant care.
