Services & Packages
Labor Doula Packages
I’m so very honored that you would consider bringing me on as part of your birth support team! Each family I serve receives my total dedication and support. You will find different packages that will hopefully suit your unique needs, in addition to A La Carte options that are available to add to your chosen package.
As a quick note, 50% of the package fee that you select is required in order to be added to my calendar. The remaining 50% must be paid by week 36. Unfortunately, I am not able to go on-call for a client until payment has been made in full. I understand individual payment needs may vary and am willing to offer a payment plan.
Labor Doula Packages Include:
A FREE, no-obligation consultation (either by phone, FaceTime or if need be, in person) and discussion of how you and your partner believe I can be most helpful
100% support from start to finish: via phone/text/email support anytime, throughout pregnancy, to discuss any pregnancy-related issues you may be experiencing, whether they be fears or any concerns
Being on-call for your birth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from 37 weeks until your baby arrives
100% in-person, hands-on support throughout labor, from home to hospital or birth center
2 hours immediate postpartum and lactation support, to assist with getting breastfeeding off on the right start
HypnoBirthing guided imagery and visualizations (if so desired)
Pre-Birth Preparation Sessions
Pre-Birth Preparation Sessions are when I come for an in-home visit, up to 60 minutes, where we get to know each other better and I can help relieve stress and fear. These visits are typically done around your 28-30th week and again at around your 34-36th week. During these sessions, I will:
Meet with you and your partner to discuss priorities, fears, concerns and questions surrounding your upcoming birthing day
Help you discover your birth preferences and compile them into a Birth Plan
Teach and help you practice labor positions and birthing techniques
Conduct a fear release & relaxation session, if so desired.
Conduct a “comfort touch” gentle massage to increase comfort to aching and tense muscles, if so desired
In-Home Postpartum Visits
Within 5 days of you arriving home (or if you’re already at home, 5 days of your baby’s birth), I will come to your home to check on you and your partner to see how you’re adjusting with baby. These visits last up to 2 hours. During these visits, I will:
Provide lactation support and troubleshooting
Simple meal preparation
Start a load of laundry and fold
Allow Mom/Dad to sneak in a quick nap or shower, while I cuddle with your sweet one and/or watch older siblings
For your convenience, I offer 4 Doula packages. Packages start at $650. Please contact me for my current Labor Doula Price Guide.
