Birth Doula
Prenatal Meetings
Three Meetings
Prenatal meetings are important to establish relationship and trust. I feel that getting to know my clients over three prenatal visits leads to better birth satisfaction. Tailored packages are available to meet client's needs and goals for birth. I will provide you with current, evidence-based information and resources. Each meeting is designed to build confidence for the miracle of birth!
Essentials
Why a Mom Would Want It
Having a doula at your side has been shown to reduce cesarean section rates and lead to better overall satisfaction. A first-time father can feel empowered to support confidently as an active participant. Mom is prepared and knows what to expect and has continuous support in all aspects of birth.
​
Pricing
Birth doula package fees are $800 and include 3 prenatal visits, continuous labor and delivery support and 1 postpartum visit. If you plan to breastfeed your baby, consider adding on a prenatal feeding assessment and a lactation visit.
