Our initial consultation allows us to learn more about each other; we’ll discuss your wishes for doula support and the services I provide. If we decide I'm the right fit for your birth team, we will schedule your first prenatal visit. The initial consultation is free. Book here.

Prenatals include a minimum of 3 two-hour long appointments (in-person or via zoom). During this time together, we cultivate a trusting relationship as we discuss:

• physiological process of birth.

• stages of labour.

• your wishes and birth plan.

• fears and cultural conditioning.

• the role of the partner (if applicable).

• physical and emotional comfort measures during labour.

• any questions, concerns, anecdotes or emotions that surface along the way.

I’m available in-between sessions via email or phone for whatever may arise. From 37 weeks on, I'm on call for the birth––available 24/7 by text or phone call.

Once contractions have begun and we determine you’re ready for my support, I will be present throughout the entirety of the birthing process. During prenatals, we discuss the early signs of labour and the timing of my arrival, so you know when to call.

After your baby has arrived, I will stay with you for up to 3 hours. During this time, mom-baby-(partner) connection and relaxation are most important. My role is to do whatever is most helpful to ensure mom is settled and this bonding time goes uninterrupted.

Within the first 12 weeks of your postpartum, we will schedule 2 in-person postnatal visits.

These appointments are more fluid by nature and address your needs at the specific time of my visit. In our prenatal appointments, we will cover ways I can support you during postpartum, such as:

• Providing resources for breastfeeding, sleeping and physical/emotional encouragement/reassurance/

  affirmation.

• Unpacking and integrating your birthing process.

• Cooking, cleaning, and organizing around the home.

• Massage therapy.
