Pregnancy & Birth Doula Support

$1300

Services include:

Unlimited phone, text and email support from time of hire until early postpartum.

2-3 prenatal visits (2+ hrs each) including birth plan prep and intro to breastfeeding class.

Monthly check-ins in which you can share any feelings you may be experiencing around birth, pregnancy & the postpartum time. These are great opportunities to ask any burning questions that you and/or your partner may have. I am here to listen with an open heart and absolutely without judgement. This is also an excellent way for us to bond and for me to support you in clearing any emotional & energetic blockages you may have so that you can move into your birthing space with grace, confidence & grounded clarity.

Use of Elle Tens machine during labour.

Access to an extensive lending library.

On-call doula & pregnancy service 24/7 from 36 weeks until at least 2 hours after birth, or until family is cozy & settled in.

Complimentary Usui Reiki during labour & birth, if desired.

Nourishing meal for both you and your partner delivered within 24 hours of birth, whether in home or hospital.

Please note that at this time I am only offering overnight support.

Wether booked on it’s own, or together with one of my birth packages, postpartum support from me encompasses the following:

~1 hour call or in person visit before my first shift to build our connection while putting together a personalized plan that fits your postpartum needs.

~Guidance around new baby care (breastfeeding support, sleep support, general soothing and comfort)

~Light housework (laundry, baby’s bottle dishes, sweeping & generally freshening up your space). This alone can make a world of difference for your overall sense of peace and well-being!

~Emotional support for you and/or you partner in unpacking your birth story.

~Connection to further resources in your community. I feel strongly that feeling a true sense of community is at the heart of a healthy postpartum experience. It takes a village and I’m here to make sure you have the support you & your family need to feel whole & deeply cared for.

~~Reiki energy healing for your baby, if desired.

*If you’ve also hired me as your birth doula, this postpartum rate takes effect after the 2nd postpartum visit.

As a restorative, safe & non-invasive healing modality, Reiki is known to help replenish the nervous system, support immunity, promote deep sleep & healthier sleeping patterns and bring overall balance & clarity to the landscapes of our etheric and physical bodies.

Reiki helps to reduce the physical, mental, emotional & energetic impacts of stress that can naturally be present with the challenges of birthing & parenting. Reiki can also aid in the relief of physical pain, stiffness & tension as well as underlying emotional & spiritual patterns that may be present & in need of care and gentle attention.

All of my birth clients have the option to receive complimentary Reiki during their birthing process. I also offer all birth clients complimentary Reiki in the early postpartum weeks as sleep support & general comfort for newborns.

My approach to both my service as a doula & my practice of Reiki can best be described as connected, calm, resourceful and up-lifting. You can expect evidence-based educational & emotional support as well as comfort measures and energetic grounding & clearing throughout your pregnancy, labour and postpartum period.  

During your labour and birth, it is my focus to help guide you back to the wisdom of your body; to stand by you and encourage you to trust in your innate strength & knowing as you birth new life into the world.

I am of the personal and professional opinion that the imprints birth leaves on our bodies, our babies, our families and therefore our communities are long lasting and intimately woven into the greater fabric of our lives. As more and more evidence surfaces to back up this belief, I am more determined than ever to support you in creating a healthy, safe and uplifting birthing experience. 

During your postpartum time, it is my focus to help anchor you into your centre and support your surrounding environment in a way that invites deep connection with your baby, yourself and your growing family. I’m available to help with new baby care, including breastfeeding support; to provide nourishing broth & healthy snacks to support your postpartum body and, if desired, to offer Reiki to rejuvenate your energy body, sleep quality & overall well-being. I will quietly and joyfully cleanse your home both physically and energetically to help create a peaceful & cozy den for you, your baby and your partner to fully exhale into. Overall, I will make sure that everyone in your household is getting the rest, care & community support required during this special & important time.
