Pre- and Post- Partum Doula Care

Welcoming a new little one into your family is a huge transition, and I am here to make that transition as gentle as possible for each and every one of you!

My goal is for you to feel like you have a whole village holding you as you enter this new and wonderful phase of your life!

The care I offer is completely catered to your personal needs and desires.

I Offer:

  • Pre-natal sessions to help you plan and prepare (mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually)

  • Unconditional labor support to guide you and hold space for you through your labor experience

  • Post-partum sessions to process the birth story and help you care deeply for yourself and your babe

If you would like more information about what each of these sessions can look like, keep scrolling!

I look forward to connecting with you!

What does Client Guided Care look like?

It looks like YOU telling ME what feels alive and true for you in every session, and you telling me what you most need. It looks like me offering you many options, so that you can choose the ones that resonate with you the most every step of the way. Every session is a space for you to unwind and sink deeply into the waters of your inner world, where you will be held and seen with awe and compassion.

 

Prenatal sessions can look like:

  • Physical support in the form of Reiki energy healing

  • Gentle yoga to support your overall wellbeing

  • Herbal remedies to support your body in pregnancy and preparing for labor

  • Education in physiological childbirth and placenta medicine

  • Examining the stressors in your daily life and coming up with a plan to limit them

  • Creating a postpartum care plan

  • Emotional support with mindfulness and meditation practices

  • Processing and unraveling the stories that keep us from being present with the truth of what is happening in the moment

  • Planning the ceremony surrounding the birth, inviting in members of your community, and seeking out the practices that feel the most supportive to you

Labor can look like:

  • Regularly offering you water so that you stay hydrated, or snacks so that you stay energized

  • Hands-on support with counter-pressure during contractions

  • Reiki for grounding

  • Taking photos of the delivery

  • Cooking you and your family nourishing and healing food

  • Guiding you in deepening your breathing

  • Reminding you that your body knows what to do and that you are safe and supported

  • Helping to clean up

  • Making any calls you would like me to

  • Settling you and your babe in a cozy nest after delivery

Postpartum sessions can look like:

  • Sitting with you in bed while you nurse your little one

  • Processing through your birth story

  • Nourishing meals (or snacks that you can easily eat one-handed while nursing)

  • Herbs prepared for your sitz baths

  • A healing yoni steam

  • Reiki energy healing

  • Restorative yoga

  • Me cleaning your house while you rest

  • Holding your little one while you get a nice long shower

  • Long, gentle conversations about how the transition to parenting this little one is going

All too often this part of the journey isn’t something we plan support for.

And all of a sudden you find yourself in your fourth trimester without the support you need to truly heal and integrate this transformative experience. 

As your doula I will help to protect the importance of this sacred time for you and your family.

 
 

“It is in birth where you can feel what it’s like to feel the universe shift. To walk the line between two worlds, the before and the after.” -Kristen Mantell
