My standard doula package may be a good fit for families who meet one or more of the following:
*Primarily want support for labor & birth and aren't seeking extensive prenatal or postpartum doula care
*Self-motivated to prepare for their birth
*Receiving comprehensive care from an out-of-hospital midwife
*Have been generally satisfied with their previous birth(s)
*Have worked with a doula previously and feel educated on their choices
Free Consultation
Meet, answer your questions, discuss my services, and talk about what you're looking for.
1 Prenatal Visit
In person, usually in your home. 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 birth and newborn care. I will provide prenatal education, practice labor techniques and positions with you, answer your questions, guide you through preparing a birth plan, help you plan for your postpartum time, and more.
Birth Support
Attendance and support throughout your labor and birth. Early in labor, we will connect through text and phone calls as needed until you are ready for me to join you. I will stay with you until after your baby's birth, providing continuous support as we discussed prenatally.
During labor, I offer a wide variety of support techniques, including:
Immediate Postpartum
Support in the 1-2 hours immediately after birth, including assistance with breastfeeding, taking pictures as desired, and helping you settle in after the birth of your baby.
Optional Postpartum Visit
Phone or Zoom call within the first few weeks of birth to discuss your birth experience, provide breastfeeding support and infant care tips as needed/desired, and help you find any resources you may need.
All of my doula support packages include:
*On call support via phone, text, and email. I'm on call for you as soon as we agree to work together.
*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.
*Referrals to practitioners with whom I have established relationships, as needed
*$50 off placenta encapsulation services
Investment
My standard doula package is valued at $800.
For families who live or are delivering more than 60 miles from Mora, MN, there is an additional $200 travel fee due to the additional time and expense of driving.
A $400 deposit will reserve your place on my calendar. This is non-refundable because I will be declining other potential clients due in the same timeframe. The balance is due by 37 weeks.
Cards, check, cash, and HSA funds are accepted. I am also able to work with Allina employee reimbursement and similar employee benefit programs.
I am passionate about being able to support families. If you are interested in working with me, but finances are a concern, send me a message so we can work out a payment plan or other arrangement.

Attending birth is like growing roses. You have to marvel at the ones that just open up and bloom at the first kiss of the sun, but you wouldn't dream of pulling open the petals of the tightly closed buds and forcing them to blossom to your timeline. --Gloria Lemay
