POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES
The birth of a baby is a wonderful, joyous occasion. But it's also the birth of a mother or parent. These tender moments leave caregivers vulnerable - they're so in love with their new baby, but also might be struggling with the weight of new parenthood. Whether this is your first or fifth baby, postpartum support is so important for the health of the whole family.

In a six-week postpartum care package, this support includes 2-4 hour day shifts in which I can help with:
Caring for baby while you sleep, shower, do whatever you want without a baby attached to you

Formula/bottle and breastfeeding support

CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION CLASSES 2hr CRASH COURSE
Preparing for childbirth is one of the most important things families can do in anticipation for "labor day."

Here's what you can expect to learn during your class:
What a normal, physiological birth process looks like
Fear vs. relaxation during birth
How mindfulness can be the biggest gamechanger in birth (and beyond!)
The neuroscience of rewiring your brain from fear to confidence
Facilitating the perfect balance of hormones in labor to have an undisturbed birth
Breathing techniques
Comfort measures for labor and birth (with examples of what you and your partner can do at each stage)
Active birth including the use of a birth ball, peanut ball, and water immersion
Routine procedures in hospitals and avoidable routine interventions
What happens at hospital admission
Being a confident birth partner
Labor support tools for special circumstances
Creating effective birth preferences and how to communicate them
Informed decision making
Relaxation techniques for pregnancy and labor
Medication in labor and how to optimize the epidural
Effective birth positions and learning how to push
Recovery tips
WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE CLASSES HELD?
Due to Covid-19, you only have to dedicate 2 hrs of your time to learning how to have the most positive birth experience from your home. Depending on your package, let me know what is a good weekend for you. We can have One-on-One Sessions via Zoom or Facetime or MS Teams.

Are you hoping for a more peaceful postpartum period? Worried about how you will feel after you give birth?
Try PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION!
-
Placenta Encapsulation is a two-part process and most of the time is spent dehydrating. Once the placenta has been either steamed or sliced up in it's raw state with jalapeno, ginger and lemon, it is dehydrated for 24 hours at 160 degrees. Next, it is made into powder and put into capsules, for an easier way to eat the placenta.
-
To make sure that your placenta is packaged and stored properly, I will mail you a cooler bag, ziploc bags and instructions, for no extra charge as long as you book me within 2 weeks of your due date (USPS)
This makes things much easier for the hospital staff and gives you and I the assurance that the placenta is safe. There is no additional charge.
I will pick up the placenta between 8 am-10 pm 7 days per week in front of the hospital or in the hospital room if I am your doula.
If you deliver during my non-pick up hours, I will provide you with information about how store the placenta until I can arrive.
-
I offer two different ways to prepare the placenta before dehydrating. Both methods end up in pill form. The choice is either steamed with water and herbs (optional) or raw-sliced up in it's natural form. This decision is made by the client based on their preference. I am also happy to discuss these options to give you more information.
