Services
All pregnancies are different, with each experience being special and unique in its own way. That’s why I work with you to customize support services, always striving to meet your needs and expectations.
Birth Doula Support
Birth Planning
After beginning our relationship with a free consultation, I am committed to the well-being of your growing family and am available throughout your entire pregnancy as well as after giving birth. During labor, I will be there to provide you with continuous emotional and physical support, and help you find evidence based answers to any and all questions you may have.
My basic birth support package includes a complementary consult and up to two prenatal visits where we can get to know one another and prepare for your birth. You will receive continuous, hands on physical and emotional support during your birth, and assistance with initial breastfeeding. If you decide and it is medically advisable, you will also receive a complementary placenta print. To conclude our time together, we will plan one postpartum visit to celebrate your beautiful baby, discuss your birth, and make a plan for any additional support you may need.
Some people just want a little extra help sifting through all of their birthing options - I get it! Birth planning is stand-alone service where we spend one to two hours discussing different choices you'll have to make and crafting your ideal birth. Of course, no one can predict what will happen during a birth, but knowing your options and having a plan will help you feel confident to tackle whatever comes your way! You will receive evidence based information and a completed Birth Preferences page to share with your care providers as you.
Pregnancy Doula
Virtual Doula
If you're not quite sure how you're going to fit all the things you need to do into one pregnancy, consider pregnancy doula services! I can help support you by answering questions with evidence based information, preparing your baby's clothing (wash, dry, put away), run errands for you, consult on your baby registry, and help with nursery prep. This service is available as an hourly service or in a more comprehensive package. It is particularly helpful for expectant parents without family close by or who are on bed rest.
If you just need help with basic education and finding answers to questions, my virtual doula package is for you! This option includes up to 3 hours of customized childbirth education online, birth planning, and unlimited phone, text, and email support throughout your pregnancy and birth.
Childbirth Education
Postpartum Doula
As a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, I present evidence-based information in a fun and memorable way. You'll go into your birth feeling well-informed and empowered to take charge of your experience. You'll learn about physiologic birth, coping techniques, common interventions, and basic newborn care. Private lessons can be tailored to your needs.
A postpartum doula is like having your best friend, sister, and mom rolled into one - without the opinions. My goal is to help you grow in your confidence as your family adjusts to life with a newborn, offering evidence-based education and support. I can help with newborn care while you rest for a bit, breastfeeding support, light household chores and organization, meal preparation, and can even run some errands. As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, you get the benefit of my expertise in the sleep arena as well, as I provide evidence based newborn sleep shaping and positive sleep hygiene throughout all postpartum services. Postpartum doula support helps you get the best start to parenthood by having someone focusing entirely on your well-being! You can book just a few hours or a large package - whatever works best for your family!
I offer overnight postpartum support on a limited basis. You can rest easy knowing an experienced caregiver is covering all your baby's nighttime needs. Connect with me to see if I have overnight availabilty for your needs.
Bereavement Support
Sleep Consulting
Let me walk beside you through your loss. A donation-based service, you don't pay a cent for compassionate care during an exceptionally challenging time. I'm here to support you through any loss, for any reason, at any stage of pregnancy. Bereavement services can include helping you research your diagnosis and options, providing physical and emotional support during your procedure or birth, helping with arrangements, providing referrals to appropriate providers, offering suggestions for honoring your child's memory, helping to coordinate care with family and friends, and just being a listening ear.
Does your child struggle with sleep? Do you want your "good sleeper" back? Not even sure where to start? I'm here to help! As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I use a variety of evidence-based methods to develop a custom sleep plan that you are comfortable with. You can book a one-time Ask Me Anything call, virtual 2-week support, or a 2-week package with limited in-home support.
Placenta Prints
Household organizing
Let's make some fantastic, custom art from this one-of-a-kind single-use organ! Includes at least 2 prints in colors of your choosing. Food-safe dye is used so placenta can still be encapsulated if that is your plan.
Expand your village to get your living space under control! We get it - it's hard to maintain any order when you haven't slept more than 2 consecutive hours in a week and every waking moment is dedicated to caring for someone else. Let us help you get things under control. You provide the mess. We provide the non-judgmental tips, tricks, and support.
Date Night Babysitting
You deserve some time away to reconnect with your partner, get a massage, or grab a coffee and mindlessly wander Target (listen, we all know you need that shower curtain. And those throw pillows. And everything in the dollar spot). Enjoy your time with peace of mind knowing that your children are well cared for. They'll have a great time while you're gone and everyone will have a chance to reset! Don't let the name fool you - your date night sitter can help at all different times of day and for any reason you need.
