Birth Doula Support

 

Birth Doula Packages

Before committing to working with me, we start with a complimentary Meet & Greet. This is our initial meeting to see if we are a good fit for each other. There is a doula out there for everyone and this time is for you to see if I'm that doula for you! You can ask questions about me, what my support could look like, or about birth doula support in general. I also like to get to know you and your partner a little bit as well since this experience is all about YOU and what you want!

Below are several package options to meet your needs. Each package is 100% customized to you and your unique needs. Support also includes craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and positioning guidance as needed or desired. Please get in touch if you have any questions!

 Why Doulas Matter

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are some of the most special, intimate, and challenging seasons of our lives. While these may be natural events, they don’t always feel natural. A doula helps provide support and guidance when things don’t feel natural and when we have questions. We weren’t meant to navigate these beautiful, but challenging seasons alone. In addition to physical support and comfort measures, a doula walks alongside you through your whole pregnancy and postpartum, providing evidence-based information, and holds judgment free space for you to ask questions and express your feelings. Doulas are an investment in yourself, your partner, and will help you start your journey into parenthood in a positive and supported way.

Still not sure of the benefits? Below are some current statistics of birth outcomes when a doula is present for birth, clients can see:

  • 39% decrease in cesarean birth

  • 10% increase in spontaneous (non-induced) labor

  • 38% decrease in risk of baby having a low APGAR score

  • Decrease in length of labor by an average of 41 minutes

  • 31% less likely to be dissatisfied with birth experience
