As a certified birth & bereavement doula with my own loss experience, I support families through the difficult circumstances of miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, and newborn fatal diagnoses with deep compassion and respect.
My role is flexible to meet your needs and can include:
Assisting you in preparing for birth and postpartum
Continuous doula support through your birth and meeting your baby
Pictures of your baby
Helping you understand your medical options so you can make the best decisions for your family
Helping you remember information after the blur of appointments and medical procedures
NICU support if needed
Assisting with planning and preparing keepsakes for your baby
Informing you and supporting you non-judgmentally through the process of stopping or donating your breastmilk
Postpartum visits to provide emotional support, help you begin to process your birth or time in the hospital, assist with physical healing after birth, talking about breastmilk, and other needs you may have
Resources to help you connect with other families facing similar experiences, counseling, etc.
Phone and in person support after neonatal or child loss
Because I have a personal understanding of the stress and unexpected expenses that come with losing a baby, bereavement support is always offered on a donation basis with no obligation. Legacy donations in your baby's name are welcome, but never expected.
You can reach me through my contact form or by call/text at 612-437-8588.
