Having a baby, and going through labor and birth is a sensitive and intimate time in a woman and couples life. As a doula, I have experienced the unpredictability that labor and birth can be, so I have developed this package in hopes to accommodate the different options that are available to women today.

There is also no time – frame restriction with the postnatal visits. The visits can be scheduled within the first year from the birth of your baby. There is no cookie cutter time frame in which every woman or family falls into, in regards to physical, mental and spiritual recovery, from any birth experience, and I do not feel that I should put these types of restrictions on your personal recovery. If you have hired me for the Standard or Premium Birth Doula Package and end up with an emergency C-section, I will work with you to re-adjust your package and pricing to include these services.
