Doula | Breastfeeding Educator | Massage Therapist
Birth Doula
I will offer you emotional, physical, and relaxation management support. The techniques I leverage include spinning babies, hypno-birthing, massage, auditory, and visualization.
Doulas are great at physical and emotional support. Not only do we know techniques such as “the double hip squeeze” or “counter pressure”, we also know the right words and visuals to help you relax as much as possible.
Evidence-based results show a substantial improvement in outcomes for women who had both a birth partner and a doula, compared to only having a birth partner.
There is a higher rate of satisfaction after delivery when a doula has been present during labor, birth and postpartum.
What my package includes:
° Two prenatal visits
° Support during labor
° A postpartum visit
° Continuous support (text, email, phone calls)
The experience:
I am with you when you are in labor at your home or at the hospital, where I provide hands-on support. I suggest positive position along with breathing and relaxation techniques—using birth balls and the bathtub or shower. I stay with you until you deliver your baby, through approximately an hour after you give birth. There will be a postpartum visit at your home within the next ten days after your baby’s birth when we will discuss your experience, breastfeeding, and any questions or concerns you may have.

Postpartum Doula
As a postpartum doula, I will support you and your family. I will help with nursing, emotional support and massage. And I will even prepare some tasty meals for you. I will continue to assist you with breastfeeding challenges, newborn care and look after your general wellbeing. I will refer you to any community resources you may need.
​
Night Postpartum Doula
As a night doula I will provide overnight care for you and your newborn baby so you all get more sleep. I support with breastfeeding, burping, swaddling, soothing techniques, putting your baby down after feedings, and diaper changes as needed. I help you build confidence to be the parents you dream to become.

Breastfeeding Educator
As a breastfeeding educator, I provide basic breastfeeding education, tips, advice and support to women and their families.

Massage Therapist
