- An initial "meet and greet" free of charge and with no obligation to commit. This gives us the opportunity to meet in person and to ensure it will be a good fit before making a commitment.
- 2 prenatal visits. We discuss your preferences, any concerns you have about the postpartum transitions and parenting issues, and get to know you and your family home. If you have other small children, these visits are helpful in getting to know them as well (Additional personalized classes are also available based on your needs)
- Postpartum support (following the birth). Postpartum support can begin either in the hospital after giving birth or at your family home, depending on what you prefer and as arranged ahead of time. If my clients wishes for me to meet them immediately after birth, I may help families through the first feed, capture the special moments by photo or video, help with clean-up at a homebirth, or move personal items to the postpartum room at the hospital, help with the transitions to home from the birth center/hospital, and otherwise assist as needed. I return for postpartum transition supports as pre-arranged to assist with getting settling in at home with the new baby (or babies if twins or multiples!), helping with meal prep (specializing in made from scratch vegetarian and vegan cuisine), light daily chores (dishes, folding laundry, vacuuming are examples), infant feeding supports, helping parents get rest, sibling supports, answer questions about newborn care, provide referrals if additional help is needed, and more!
- Photography - Using your camera or mine, when opportunities present themselves, I am happy to capture the fleeting moments of this unique transition into parenthood.
- Access to lending library. My clients have access to an assortment of books, videos/DVD's, and CD's/audio tracks useful for labor preparations, breastfeeding, postpartum self-care, and newborn care.
Additional services also available (packaged or individually available). Along with being a doula/childbirth & lactation educator, I am an artist and can provide artistic services, such as belly casts, photography services, illustrated portraits, henna painting, decorated foot/hand prints of your baby, or commission your own unique project to help capture and celebrate this special time in your life.
Have Questions? Contact me for specific details.
I believe that every family deserves extra support before, during, and after childbirth, regardless of their ability to pay. If you are in financial need, please ask how to apply for alternative payment options, reduced fees, or payment-in-kind trades.
I welcome all families of all walks of life; those planning hospital or home births, medicated or unmedicated births. This journey is your unique journey. I aim to support what you need and your decision process.
