Labor Support:

• one free initial consultation for a chance to meet in person, get answers to questions you might have, and to see if we are a good fit together
• one or two prenatal visits to discuss your pregnancy, your plans for your birth, and any concerns you may have
• help creating a birth plan
• community referrals and resources, if needed
• ongoing telephone and e-mail support from date of hire to the postpartum visit
• use of a birth ball during labor
• 24-hour on-call availability two weeks before your due date until your birth, back-up doula if needed
• continuous labor support in your home, hospital, or birth center (or a combination)
• immediate postpartum support for 1-2 hours following the birth, including assistance in breastfeeding
• a postpartum visit in your home to discuss the birth, welcome the baby, and help with any issues you may have

Please contact me as soon as you decide you might be interested in a doula. My fee is available upon request and is payable half due when you hire me and the remaining half due with a check dated with your estimated due date.

Please do not let finances determine whether or not you have a doula present at your birth.  I believe that every women deserves a doula if she wants one.  Together, we can work something out.
