Meetings
Meet and Greet Consultation
During this hour long consultation we will introduce ourselves and you will be able to express your ideal birth and how a doula can not only fit into your plan but also help advocate for it to play out. This meeting is free and will be used for consideration of hiring myself as your doula!
Labor and Birth Support
The big day has arrived! I will be on call starting at 38 weeks of pregnancy. I will join the birthing mom once active labor has started and stay with them through the entire process until the baby is born.
Prenatal Meetings
After hiring myself as your doula, we will schedule a prenatal meeting. During the prenatal meeting we will finalize your birth plan and review positions and techniques to use during birth. We will review our plan once labor starts so everyone is on the same page. This meeting will take place at 34-38 weeks of pregnancy. A second meeting might be scheduled if we feel the need to connect more or have more items we would like to cover in person. Please plan for 2 hours for this meeting.
Postpartum Meeting
After the birth, I will give your family time to process and enjoy your little bundle of joy. I will follow up within a week with a phone call to make sure you are doing well. We will then also set up a postpartum meeting 2-6 weeks after the birth. This will last about an hour in length. I will check in on mom’s health and discuss how life is with the new addition. This also allows the mom to discuss anything from the birth and any questions which they might have.
