Birth Doula Support

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm so glad you are looking for doula services. A doula (“doo-la”) is a privately hired coach for birth and postpartum support.  A doula helps a birthing momma through pregnancy, birth, and beyond into the early childhood years.

I think of the birthing process as a half marathon.  When you’re training for a half marathon, you need a running plan, nutrition support, core strengthening, a gradient map of the route, and preferably a coach and support team for lots of encouragement. 

All birth experiences can benefit from the services of a doula.

What is a birth doula?

A doula is a certified coach that can guide you and your partner through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and in the delicate postpartum weeks.  As your doula, I can attend births in hospitals, birth centers, or at home.  Whether you’re having a vaginal delivery or a c-section, pain or no pain medication, my services are available to you.  

Birth Doula Package | $2,000

Your baby’s entry into this world will be one of the most significant moments of your life.  Having a doula support you and your partner through pregnancy and birth is a great privilege. Your first step is giving me a call. Initial consultation interview is complimentary.

  • • Two prenatal sessions (up to 90 minutes). The first session is via Zoom where we will discuss the birth journey from early labor through transition to the postpartum unit and home. The second session is in your home so we can walk through and practice comfort measures, early labor and make sure you’re all set for “go time”.

    • Assistance with creating your birth preference sheet

    • 24/7 phone & text support (on-call for your birth from 37 weeks)

    • Labor and birth support when it is time to birth your baby

    • One postpartum session where I can assist with breastfeeding support, process your birth experience with you and your partner, check on postpartum recovery, make referrals, etc.

    • Access to Evidence Based Birth resources

    • Free access to Birth Monopoly's "3 Things Every Parent Needs to Know About Hospital Birth" mini-course

    • A back-up doula in the event I cannot attend your birth

 

Virtual Birth Doula Services | $1,000

My virtual birth doula package is a great option if you already have in-person support from your mom, sister, friend, etc. We will meet on video call with your birth team (birth partner plus anyone else who will be with you). You receive the same doula support as an in-person client (minus me attending your birth).

  • The virtual birth doula package is also a great way to have expert doula support if you're on a tight budget. As your virtual birth doula, I support you by providing all of the services highlighted above. The obvious distinction being that you will only have virtual verses hands-on support. 

    My virtual birth package includes:

    • Two virtual prenatal sessions (up to 90 minutes)

    • Assistance with creating your birth preferences & preparing for labor

    • 24/7 phone & text support (on-call for your birth from 37 weeks)

    • One virtual postpartum session (breastfeeding support, postpartum recovery plan, etc.)

    • Access to Evidence Based Birth resources

    • Free access to Birth Monopoly's "3 Things Every Parent Needs to Know About Hospital Birth" mini-course

Sweet words from amazing clients

virtual birth doula o'ahu
 

I have supported over 90 births on O’ahu, Lexington & virtually.

Virtual doula services are offered via phone or secure video platform. I maintain active in local and national networks of colleagues so I can make the best referrals to providers when you need them (eg pelvic physical therapy, pre and post natal exercise, nutrition, lactation support, mental health support, chiropractic care, etc). I dual trained as a birth doula with Maternity Wise International in 2014 and DONA in 2017. I certified through DONA International in 2020, and have since let my certification lapse (intentionally).  

I have limited availability for birth support in Lexington, KY.
