Labor & Birth Support Package

Service Description

“Just as a woman's heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth." —Virginia DiOrio Your baby's birthday is finally here! What will a doula do to help you through this incredible experience? I will communicate with you via telephone and text when your labor has begun and will join you at your chosen birth location once you are in active labor. From this point until the hours following the birth of your baby, I will be there to provide support and assist with comfort measures, coping mechanisms, optimal positioning, relaxation/visualization, non-pharmacological pain management, pushing strategies, partner support, feeding, and any other needs you may have. I will empower and advocate for you so that you may achieve the birth experience you desire.
