Doula Services

  • Supportive, calm, and deeply personal care for your childbirth journey.

    Our Birth Doula Package includes:

    • Two prenatal appointments to create a tailored birth plan, review comfort measures, and practice coping techniques so you feel prepared and confident.

    • On-call support beginning at 35 weeks to answer questions and be ready when labor begins.

    • Continuous labor and delivery support: we advocate for your preferences, provide hands-on comfort measures, and assist your partner so everyone feels confident and supported throughout labor.

    • One postpartum appointment to offer breastfeeding support, check in on recovery, and support emotional adjustment after birth.

    • A comprehensive childbirth education course covering stages of labor, common interventions, pain management options, and newborn basics to empower you with knowledge and confidence.

    Gentle, experienced support every step of the way—so your birth experience reflects your values, needs, and strengths.

  • Our postpartum doula support includes a minimum of 12 hours of personalized care, scheduled by you between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Whether you want hands-on newborn care, feeding support, emotional reassurance, light household help, or guidance on sleep and routine, each visit is tailored to your family’s needs. Calm, practical, and nonjudgmental, our doulas help you rest, build confidence, and adjust during those first weeks at home.

    Book blocks of time that suit your schedule—consecutive hours or spread across days—to create the exact support plan you want.

    Emergency rate: $85/hour (minimum 2 hours).

  • Prepare for childbirth with confidence from home. Our online childbirth education course combines clear, evidence-based video lessons and easy-to-follow slideshows that walk you through labor stages, pain-management options, comfort measures, breathing and pushing techniques, and newborn care. Lessons are self-paced so you can learn on your schedule, and materials are designed for both parents and birth partners.

    Upgrade option: add two 1-hour live Zoom sessions with an experienced instructor for an additional $100. Use these sessions for personalized questions, practice, or to review your birth plan together.
