Birth Doula Support
Prenatal, Birth, and Postnatal Support
Congratulations on your upcoming birth! I provide support for all types of births, including physiological, surgical, hospital, VBAC, high-risk, home births, and birth center deliveries.
What You Will Receive:
Planning: We will begin with an initial consultation, which can be done in person or virtually. This will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss your plans, preferences, and goals. We will also have two additional prenatal meetings (around 30 and 37 weeks) to address any concerns, fears, or needs.
On-Call: I am available to you immediately after you hire me. Feel free to reach out with any questions or for support throughout your pregnancy. As you enter your final weeks, I will be on call 24/7 starting at 38 weeks (with flexibility to adjust if needed) to support you throughout labor and birth.
Postpartum: I offer immediate postpartum care and support with early feedings in the first few hours after birth. A postpartum follow-up debrief will be scheduled within the week after birth. This can be done virtually or in person and is highly recommended. Additional postpartum and feeding support packages are available.
Birth Doula Rate:
$2000— payment plans available, FSA, HSA eligible
Travel: I serve clients within an hour of Lisbon Falls, ME. For locations outside this radius, a travel fee will be quoted.
Complimentary consultations are available.
Prenatal+Postnatal Care without Birth Support
This package is ideal for those who want the knowledge and support of a doula without having one present at the birth.
Includes:
Planning: 2-3 prenatal meetings to create your birth plan. These sessions also provide education and teach skills to help your partner or support person assist you during labor and delivery.
Tools: At the final prenatal meeting, you will receive a personalized "doula bag" filled with comfort items, essential oils, massage tools, and other items commonly used by doulas during birth.
Postpartum: I will meet with you at least once after birth to: 1) review and process your birth experience, 2) answer any questions about your baby, and 3) offer any support I can for your postpartum period. I will continue to check in with you for the first 12 weeks postpartum to monitor healing and well-being.
Cost: $700 (Virtual option available)
Bereavement Support
This service is always free.
I understand pregnancy can have many outcomes and needs are dependent on each individual.
