Full Birth Doula Support
The foundation for birth is laid well before labor begins. This full-service birth support package is built around extensive prenatal preparation, giving families the space to build confidence and trust in their intuitive decision-making skills. Alongside continuous hands-on labor support, I serve as a skilled Perinatal Patient Advocate in the birth room, helping you navigate the medical system and upholding your right to informed consent and/or refusal while making real-time decisions. My role is not to direct or shape your choices, but to tend the light—holding it steady so your own wisdom can guide the way.
Continuity of care is at the heart of my philosophy as a doula. Thats why postpartum doula support is woven into my birth package so that new parents can receive steady support through the tender early weeks after birth, when nourishment and care are needed the most. These visits include full-spectrum postpartum care. This continuity of support helps families to move through this profound transition feeling genuinely held.
