As a mom to four nearly-grown children, I now look forward to supporting new parents as they navigate their ideal birth and postpartum experiences. I embrace the belief that pregnancy and birth are normal life experiences. Studies have shown that a woman-centered birth approach reduces the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section. My Birth Doula services include an initial consultation, two prenatal appointments, and one postpartum visit. Typically, I require half fees at contract and the balance at 38 weeks. As a Postpartum Doula, my primary responsibility is helping mom with her new baby. Additionally, I will happily support dad/partner baby-bonding, assist with light-housekeeping, meal prep, and accompanying mom and baby to well-baby check-ups. I also provide nighttime relief so that new parents can obtain much needed uninterrupted sleep.
