The Total Package

Complimentary Clarity Call: An opportunity to connect so you can share your hopes and dreams for your birth, I can share my philosophies and perspectives as a doula, and we can decide what support is best for you.

Prenatal Support: We begin our journey together during your pregnancy. We'll meet for 2 prenatal visits to discuss your birth plan, address any concerns or questions you may have, and provide evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions. We'll also explore comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and coping strategies that align with your vision for birth.

On-Call Support: Day or night, 24/7 from 38 weeks on, when you feel labour starting I am a quick phone call away and will come to be with you when you feel you need extra support to move through labour..

Full Birth Attendence: Unwavering support throughout your entire labour and birth experience. From the moment you need me, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. I’ll assist with comfort measures, provide encouragement, advocate for your birth preferences, and create a calm and nurturing environment.

Birth Partner Support: I understand the importance of involving your birth partner in the journey. As your doula, I'll also guide and support your partner, ensuring they feel empowered and equipped to provide the best support possible. We work as a team, helping your birth partner understand their role and offering guidance on comfort techniques to enhance their participation in the birthing process.

Immediate Postpartum Support: The support doesn’t end once baby is born. I’ll continue to support for the first hour or two postpartum to ensure you and baby are snuggled up, baby is latching, and the birth space gets cleaned up

Postpartum Follow-Up: In the days following your birth, we will schedule a postpartum visit to provide emotional support, answer any questions, offer breastfeeding guidance, and assist with your transition into the early days of parenthood. I’m here to help you recover, bond with your baby, and adjust to your new role as a parent.

FAQs

  • A doula is a non-medical professional who provides various types of care and support to expectant mothers (and families!) during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum. Doulas are trained in all aspects of birth, giving them the ability to assist you with everything from packing your birth bag to understanding medical and non-medical pain relief options.

    By providing physical, mental, and emotional support, doulas work to assist you in achieving the birth that you want. Rather than making a decision for you, a doula can guide you through all your options and support you in choosing the one you feel is best.

  • Doulas provide a wide range of physical, mental and emotional support to assist you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Doula support has proven to positively influence outcomes and contribute to an overall more positive childbirth experience.

    Benefits of a doula can include:

    A resource for extensive knowledge related to the perinatal period and someone to answer your questions

    During labour, medical staff (nurses, doctors, midwives) will come and go as they are needed elsewhere (or possibly even switch shifts), your doula will continually be by your side

    Doula's can assist with emotional and physical recovery

    Doula's also support partners so partners can better support you!

    Births that are supported by a Doula are:

    15% more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth

    10% less likely to use medical pain relief (including epidurals and Pitocin)

    More likely to have an overall positive childbirth experience

    Less likely to use vacuum or forceps assistance

    39% decrease in the rate of cesarean section

  • A midwife is a licensed medical professional, a doula is a non-medical professional. Both can provide care during pregnancy, birth and postpartum, but midwives focus on medical-based care whereas doulas focus on physical, emotional, and mental support. Your doula is not with you to perform physical checks and measurements. A doula understands their role in supporting you and is aware of the limitations of our training as related to medical-based care.

    Although doulas and midwives are different in practice they often work really well together to provide you comprehensive care should you choose both.

  • Whenever you’d like, though we believe that earlier is better! From the time you hire us you benefit from our resources, phone, text, and email support, library, and community connections. But, it’s never too late to add a doula to your care team.

  • Your partner knows you better than anyone, your doula isn’t here to take over, but rather to join your care team to ensure your support is multiplied. Your doula will work with your partner to provide you with physical, mental, and emotional support during your labour experience, to sit with you, breathe with you, help with positioning, all while providing knowledge and insight along the way.

    Labour can be a long process, doulas can also provide an opportunity for partners to step out, eat, rest, and recuperate as needed, without leaving you by yourself.
