Walking Through Pregnancy and Birth Together

From the moment we connect, my desire is for you to feel fully supported and never alone in this journey of yours. Here’s what it looks like to walk through pregnancy and birth together:

Connection

We begin by getting to know each other (over coffee of course) and as much as you're willing to share, I am looking forward to hearing your hopes, your fears, and your desires for your birth. This is a space where you can be fully yourself, ask questions, and feel truly heard from the very beginning. 

Preparation

During your pregnancy, we spend time together talking through what matters most to you, such as your birth preferences, any questions, or anything you may be unsure about. We dive deep into birth education so you feel the most prepared as possible, and as we practically prepare for your birth I desire for you to feel as confident and at peace as you can be. 

Birth and Immediate Postpartum

As labor nears, we stay in close contact so when you feel it's time, I'm there to support you continuously emotionally and physically offering individualized encouragement, support, and a steady presence. Once baby arrives, I'm there to offer immediate postpartum support to answer any questions or simply help with the sweet new transition of you meeting your new little one.

How I Can Support You

Compassionate, continuous support that is tailored for you throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum to help you feel cared for, confident, and always supported in your precious birth experience. 

  • 2-3 prenatal visits (including a home visit) as we chat through any questions or fears, discuss your most important birth desires and preferences, dive into birth education so that you are most prepared for your experience, and practice optimal positioning to best prepare for your labor and birth 

  • Ongoing support and communication throughout pregnancy

  • Continuous, devoted support during labor and birth, with no time limits once I arrive

  • Comfort measures, physical positioning, and emotional support throughout labor

  • Support and preparation for your partner as you desire

  • Up to 2 hours immediate postpartum support once baby arrives

  • One 2 hour postpartum home visit to check in and process your experience as we wrap up our sweet time together 

Let's Connect

Choosing a doula can be a big decision, and it is definitely a personal one as you are inviting someone into a very intimate, special space. As you consider who it is you're going to be adding to your birth team, I'd be honored to chat with you to see if we'd be a good fit together or just to answer any questions you may have to assist you in your journey to meeting your little one.  

I believe being a birth doula is a beautiful representation of living life in light of what scripture tells us in 1 John 4:19 that, “We love because he [Christ] first loved us”.
