Doula
Labor & Birth Package
When you hire me as your doula, I work closely with you throughout your pregnancy, so that you can be comfortable with me in your intimate space during labor and birth. I only take on 1-3 clients per Due Month, in order to minimize the risk of clients going into labor at the same time. Being a doula isn't just my job. I do it because I genuinely want to help women. While this policy restricts me from gaining some clients, it allows me to always make it to every birth of my clients. If you hire me, you will get me at your birth, not a back-up doula that you wouldn't be familiar with.
Included in the Doula Package:
Cost: $1300
Includes $300 non-refundable deposit, and total due by week 36 of pregnancy (week 32 with multiples).

Postpartum
One Postpartum Visit to be done within the first 2 months of birth. You choose when it will best serve you. The visit will last up to 3 hours. During the visit I can help with light house work, watching baby while you rest, watching siblings while you rest with baby, talk with you, etc. I am happy to do anything within reason that will help you during your first few weeks of postpartum. (Most women choose a date for this visit, after their spouses have returned to work)
