Doula Care - Pregnancy, Labor, Postpartum Care
Integrative approach to maternal health & wellness.
I offer Virtual and In-person appointments
Prenatal Visits
Throughout your pregnancy, I offer evidence-based education to help you feel informed every step of the way. I'll walk you through the stages of labor and delivery so nothing feels unknown or overwhelming. Together, we'll identify and discuss any fears or anxiety you may have, and address them through mindfulness techniques, breath work, and energetic work, so you can enjoy a calmer, more peaceful pregnancy and labor. And prepare to transition into parenthood.
Labor
Before labor, we will have a in-person visit and I will teach you intuitive position changes to help your baby descend smoothly and naturally while easing physical discomfort. I will also guide your partner in comforting massage, counter-pressure, and hands-on support techniques so they feel confident and empowered in supporting you. We’ll also explore how to create a calming birth environment through lighting, music, and aromatherapy.
For virtual support, we will focus on personalized breathing guidance, rhythm, and intentional relaxation techniques to help create a peaceful atmosphere. I support both you and your partner in staying present, grounded, and connected, so you can fully embrace the beauty of your birth experience.
Postpartum Care
Every postpartum journey is unique, and the support you need may look different from someone else’s.
During postpartum, I can provide continues support, I’m available to virtually or in-person to answer questions about your newborn and support you as you navigate the challenges, adjustments, and common insecurities that can come with motherhood.
We can discuss your specific needs and create postpartum care plan that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with your postpartum recovery.
