Our birth and postpartum doula support is designed to help you be informed, empowered in confident in every aspect of your choices for pregnancy, labor and postpartum. We want to ensure that you are heard, respected and supported. Our doulas are highly skilled in physiological birth, coping and labor techniques, evidence based birth education, breastfeeding support, infant care, maternity care and more.
We firmly believe that KNOWLEDGE is POWER.
Our goal is to provide evidence based education and resources for all moms. This includes childbirth education, newborn & postpartum education, breastfeeding support, community support groups and more to ensure you are empowered and confident throughout this journey.
There is so much more to motherhood than birth and postpartum. We want you to know we are here to support you in all areas of life. This may look like developing job skills, balancing your budget and finances, seeking out housing needs, leaving a domestic violence situation, walking through a teen pregnancy. Whatever it is you are facing, we have a team ready to walk that journey WITH you.

virtual birth & postpartum support
One of our doulas will be on a video call with you to discuss birth preferences, interventions and craft a birth plan. We will ask you specific questions about your desires for birth environment, interventions, postpartum and newborn care etc. We will put it on our birth plan document and send it to you for you to review with your providers.
We consider your labor prep a "mock birth" experience; we will talk through each phase of labor and our recommendations for how to fulfill your birth desires. We will talk to you and your partner/support person through optimal positions, movements and tools to utilize at different points in labor and how to maintain rest, while also working with your baby physiologically.
Virtual guidance, attention and support throughout entirety of labor, up until approximately 1-2 hours postpartum. Your doula will help guide you in ensuring your experience matches your birth wishes as closely as possible. She will also give assistance with unexpected outcomes in providing support, guidance and information as needed.
Having access to a doula for your postpartum journey can allow you to discuss your birth experience, see how you are adjusting to having a new baby, provide breast/bottle feeding support and answer any more questions you may have.

in person birth support
in person postpartum support
Contact care, attention and support once active labor has begun, up until approximately 1-2 hours postpartum. Your attending doula will help to maintain a calm birth experience that matches your birth wishes as closely as possible. She will guide you in positions and movement for optimal fetal presentation, progression and coping tools. She will also give assistance with unexpected outcomes in providing support, guidance and information as needed.
This support can be beneficial for that first week home or if you need support a few weeks or months after baby is born because the sleep deprivation has kicked in. Your postpartum doula can help ease the transition while you are healing, help with sleep support, and be an extra set of hands to ensure you are bonding, healing and resting. This is also a beneficial time for her to show you things like swaddling, diapering, bathing, and other newborn care support. She will also commonly be able to help you navigate your milk production and breastfeeding concerns, if any.
