This is the “classic” doula support package for families looking for prenatal preparation, personalized childbirth education, lots of question and answer time, postpartum care, and my on call availability throughout their pregnancy.
This package may be a good fit for families who meet one or more of the following:
*First time parents
*Want to take a deep dive into birth preparation
*Eager to learn about all your options
*Are looking for personalized childbirth education
*Have a lot of questions
*Feel very anxious about your birth or postpartum
*Want more “doula time” to build our relationship and to help you feel more confident and prepared
*Planning your first VBAC
*Processing a past traumatizing or difficult birth and want additional guidance as you prepare for a different experience
*Not getting the time, education, and affirmation you want from your provider
Free Consultation
Meet in person, by phone, or on Zoom to review how doula support works, answer your questions, discuss your plans/goals and decide if we are a good fit for each other.
Prenatal Appointments
I offer appointments in person at my office space in Mora, and occasionally virtually or in a client's home. At our appointments, we will get to know each other, discuss your vision for your birth and my role as part of your support team, and talk through your options and preferences for your birth, postpartum, and newborn care. I will provide prenatal education, practice labor techniques and positions with you, answer all of your question, listen to your concerns, guide you through preparing a birth plan, help you plan for your postpartum time and breastfeeding, and more. This comprehensive doula support package includes two prenatal appointments that typically last 60-90 minutes each, which we can optionally combine into one longer appointment if you are farther away.

Birth Support
Early in labor, we will connect through text messages and phone calls. When you are ready for me to join you, I will quietly and respectfully enter your space, intuitively providing continuous support that meets your needs.
Support during your birth includes:
Immediate Postpartum
I will continue to support your family in the 1-2 hours immediately after birth, including through the delivery of the placenta, assisting with breastfeeding, taking photos, answering questions, and helping you settle in after the birth of your baby. If there are special circumstances, such as your baby going to NICU, I am available to stay with you longer.
Postpartum Visit
I'll meet with you in your home or by phone at least once in the first few days/weeks after your baby's arrival to discuss your birth experience and transition to life with a new baby, provide breastfeeding support, answering your newborn care questions, and to help you find any resources you may need. I'm also available by text/call for help and encouragement.
Clients Also Receive:
*On call support via phone, text, and email as soon as we agree to work together through 6 weeks postpartum.
*Photos from your birth, if desired and discussed at your prenatal visit.
*Access to my lending library of books related to pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and more.
*Craniosacral therapy for your baby at your postpartum appointment, as needed/desired.
*Referrals to practitioners with whom I have established relationships.
*$50 off placenta encapsulation services.
Investment
My comprehensive doula support package is valued at $1400.
A 50% deposit will reserve your place on my calendar. This is nonrefundable -- I accept a limited number of clients per month so that I can serve you well and may turn down other inquiries close to your due date. The balance is due at 36 weeks. Cards, check, cash, and HSA funds are accepted, and I can also provide the documentation you need to seek reimbursement from your private insurance provider, health sharing plan, or HSA.
I'm passionate about providing support for families who need it. If you are interested in working with me but finances are a concern, schedule a consultation so we can talk about your situation.
*If you are seeking a more basic or budget-friendly doula support that focuses on your labor and birth, see my birth focused support package.
